On Bhagavad Gita and Nisargadatta Maharaj: Sacrifice, Death, and ‘I am’

The following is an excerpt from a samvaad (dialogue) session with Acharya Prashant.

साधिभूताधिदैवं मां साधियज्ञं च ये विदुः।

प्रयाणकालेऽपि च मां ते विदुर्युक्तचेतसः।। 7.30 ।।

sādhibhūtādhidaivaṁ māṁ sādhiyajñaṁ cha ye viduḥ

prayāṇa-kāle ’pi cha māṁ te vidur yukta-chetasaḥ

Those who know me as existing in the physical and the divine planes, and also in the context of the sacrifice, they of concentrated minds know Me even at the time of death.

~ Shrimad Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 7, Verse 30

✥ ✥ ✥

Questioner (Q): What does it mean to know Shri Krishna as existing in the physical and divine planes, and also in the context of the sacrifice?

Acharya Prashant (AP): What it means is that you should be able to see the Truth of the material and the mental world if you are to disappear forever. What he is saying is, “They know Me even at the time of death.”
