Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 8, Verse 13

Krishna said
ओमित्येकाक्षरं ब्रह्म व्याहरन्मामनुस्मरन्।यः प्रयाति त्यजन्देहं स याति परमां गतिम् ॥8.13॥

omityekākṣaraṃ brahma vyāharanmāmanusmaranyaḥ prayāti tyajandehaṃ sa yāti paramāṃ gatim

Meaning

Uttering Om, the single sacred syllable that is Brahman, and remembering me, whoever departs leaving the body reaches the highest goal.

हिंदी में अर्थ

जो व्यक्ति ब्रह्मस्वरूप एक अक्षर ॐ का उच्चारण करते हुए और मेरा स्मरण करते हुए शरीर छोड़ता है, वह परम गति को प्राप्त होता है।

Practise it today

Chant Om slowly three times before you begin your day's work, letting each sound fade fully before the next. Notice the quiet that follows.

Reflect tonight

How did chanting Om before work affect the way your day began?
