Adhyaay 8अक्षरब्रह्मयोगःAkshara Brahma Yoga
Adhyaay ka saaraansh
Saat prashn aur uttar (8.1–8.4). Arjuna: brahm, adhyaatm, karm, adhibhoot, adhidaiv kya hain; adhiyagya kaun aur kaise; aur mrityu ke samay aap kaise jaane jaate hain (8.1–8.2)? Krishna: param akshar brahm; svabhaav adhyaatm; praaniyon ko utpann karne wala visarg karm (8.3); nashvar bhaav adhibhoot; purush adhidaiv; is sharir mein adhiyagya main (8.4).
Antim smaran (8.5–8.7). Ant-kaal mein mera smaran karte hue jaane wala mere bhaav ko paata hai (8.5); jis bhaav ka smaran karte hue sharir chhoote, wahi milta hai — kyonki man sada usi mein ranga raha (8.6); isliye har samay mujhe yaad karo aur yuddh karo (8.7).
Teen upaasanaayein (8.8–8.16). Abhyaas-yog se param divya purush ka dhyaan (8.8); kavi, puraan, anushaasita… andhakaar se pare (8.9); mrityu ke samay achal man, bhakti, yog-bal, bhauhon ke beech praan (8.10); akshar-pad (8.11); dwaar band, man hriday mein, praan murdha mein (8.12); Om aur smaran (8.13); ananya-chetas ke liye main sulabh (8.14); mujhe paa kar punarjanm nahin (8.15); Brahmalok tak sab lautne wale (8.16).
Brahmaand ka chakra (8.17–8.22). Brahma ka din aur raat — hazaar-hazaar yug (8.17); din mein srishti, raat mein lay (8.18); praani vivash ho kar baar-baar (8.19); us avyakt se pare sanaatan avyakt (8.20); wahi akshar, param gati, mera param dhaam (8.21); param purush ananya bhakti se praapya (8.22).
Do maarg (8.23–8.28). Kis "kaal" (maarg) mein jaane wale lautte hain, kis mein nahin (8.23); agni, jyoti, din, shukla, uttaraayan — brahm ki or (8.24); dhuaan, raat, krishna, dakshinaayan — laut aana (8.25); do sanaatan maarg (8.26); jaanne wala moh mein nahin — har samay yog-yukt raho (8.27); yeh jaan kar yogi sab punya-phalon se pare, param aadi sthaan paata hai (8.28).
