BG 8.8

Thank you for clarifying! You’re referring to Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 8, Verse 8 (Sloka 8.8). Here is the verse in Sanskrit along with translation and meaning:



Sanskrit (Sloka 8.8):



abhyāsa-yoga-yuktena cetasā nānya-gāminā

paramaḿ puruṣaḿ divyaḿ yāti pārthānucintayan





Translation:



“He who meditates on the Supreme Personality of Godhead with an undeviated mind, engaged in constant practice of yoga, attains the divine Supreme Person, O Arjuna.”





Meaning:



Krishna explains to Arjuna that through unwavering devotion and continuous meditation (abhyāsa-yoga), a seeker who focuses their mind solely on the Supreme (not distracted by anything else) will reach the divine, eternal goal—the Supreme Person (Purushottama).


This verse emphasizes:


  • Steady spiritual practice (abhyāsa-yoga)
  • Single-pointed focus on God
  • Freedom from distractions
  • Ultimate union with the Divine



Would you like a commentary on this verse from a specific tradition (e.g., Adi Shankaracharya, Swami Prabhupada, etc.)?
