श्रीभवगवानुवाच । यत्सत्यमक्षरं ब्रह्म अष्टादशविधं च तत् । यत्सत्यममृतं तत्तु परं पदमनुस्मर
śrībhavagavānuvāca | yatsatyamakṣaraṃ brahma aṣṭādaśavidhaṃ ca tat | yatsatyamamṛtaṃ tattu paraṃ padamanusmara
حضرتِ بھگوان نے فرمایا: “اس برتر دھام کا سمرن کرو جو سچ ہے—وہ ناقابلِ زوال، اَکشَر برہمن، جس کی اٹھارہ طرح سے توصیف کی گئی ہے؛ جو سچ اور اَمر ہے، اسی اعلیٰ مقام کو یاد رکھو۔”
Śrī Bhagavān (the Blessed Lord)
Concept: Liberation is oriented by remembrance of the deathless, imperishable Truth—Brahman identified with the supreme abode; smaraṇa is a direct soteriological practice.
Application: Daily contemplative practice: set aside time for remembrance—japa, nāma-kīrtana, or silent recollection of the ‘deathless truth’—especially when facing fear, loss, or distraction.
