Where Night Never Falls

Arjuna said:

Who is the One transcendent? Who is the One immanent? What is His action? What is the sacrifice, and who makes it? O Krishna, how are you found in the final moment, in the last exhalation?

Krishna said: 

The One transcendent is the Most High. The One immanent is His nature within you. His action is creation, through which the universe is sustained. The universe is perishable, but the One is everlasting, within you and beyond you. The perishable body is the sacrifice, though which I receive sacrifice.

In his final moment, in his last exhalation, the man who thinks of Me, comes to Me. I am his shelter.

In his final moment, in his last exhalation, wherever his mind strays, there he remains. Whatever he captures, it captures him.

Therefore, be mindful of Me, detached from all things, and fight. Mindful of Me, you will come to Me.

If a man’s mind does not stray, but is yoked to the Most High, in the practice of detachment and selfless action, he goes to the Most High.

That man goes to Him, the Ancient of Days, the Creator, the Sustainer, the Destroyer of worlds, smaller than an atom, upholding the heavens, blazing like the sun where night never falls.

He goes to Him. In his final moment, if that man restrains his mind, is armed with love and with the strength of My practice, his eyes turned within, he finds shelter in Me.

This is My path, embodied in scripture, which the wise and devoted, purged of all passion, call eternal. Let me reveal it.
