Bhagavad Gita 7.29

जरामरणमोक्षाय मामाश्रित्य यतन्ति ये। ते ब्रह्म तद्विदुः कृत्स्नमध्यात्मं कर्म चाखिलम्॥

jarā-maraṇa-mokṣhāya mām āśhritya yatanti ye te brahma tadviduḥ kṛitsnam adhyātmaṁ karma chākhilam

Translation

They who, refuged in Me, strive for liberation from birth and death, they know the Eternal, the whole Self -knowledge, and all action.

What it means

Those who, taking refuge in Me, strive toward liberation from old age and death come to know the Eternal, the whole of Self-knowledge, and all action. Seeking freedom seriously yields complete understanding. The search for one thing reveals everything.

Try this today

Full knowledge promised to those who aim at the root problem rather than its symptoms.

Something to reflect on

Am I treating symptoms while the root problem - mortality itself - goes unexamined?
