Krishna replied: Brahman is the supreme, indestructible nature of the self. Material actions by this self are called karma. The physical manifestation (adhibhuta) is ever-changing and perishable by nature. The spiritual manifestation is always here in the hearts of the living. At the time of death, anyone who thinks of me alone will relinquish their body and attain my divine nature. Of this, there is no doubt. Whatever the mind is intent upon at the time of death, that is where it will go. Therefore, remember me at all times, and fight. Surrender your mind and intellect to me, and you will certainly attain my divine status. One who concentrates in meditation, who has a mind that does not wander, attains the supreme spirit. Always remember the ancient and divine poet, smaller than an atom, supporter of all things, inconceivable in form, bright as the sun, beyond the darkness of ignorance. One who dies with a steady mind, filled with devotion, with their entire vital energy concentrated between the eyebrows, attains divine consciousness.
