Bhagavad Gita 8.7 reads:
tasmāt sarveṣu kāleṣu mām anusmara yudhya ca
mayy arpita-mano-buddhir mām evaiṣyasy asaṁśayaḥ
A common English translation:
“Therefore, at all times remember Me and fight.
With mind and intellect fixed on Me, you shall surely come to Me, without doubt.”
— often translated by A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada and other commentators in similar form.
Key idea of the verse:
- Spiritual remembrance is not separate from action.
- Krishna does not tell Arjuna to withdraw from life, but to engage fully while remaining inwardly anchored in the Divine.
- “Remember Me and fight” becomes a synthesis of contemplation and duty.
The verse sits in Chapter 8, where Krishna explains how one’s consciousness at all times—not only at death—shapes spiritual realization.
