Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 8, Verse 3

Krishna said
अक्षरं ब्रह्म परमं स्वभावोऽध्यात्ममुच्यते।भूतभावोद्भवकरो विसर्गः कर्मसंज्ञितः ॥8.3॥

akṣaraṃ brahma paramaṃ svabhāvo'dhyātmamucyatebhūtabhāvodbhavakaro visargaḥ karmasaṃjñitaḥ

Meaning

Krishna answers: Brahman is the supreme, imperishable reality. Adhyatma is one's own essential nature. Karma is the creative outpouring that brings beings into existence and sustains them.

हिंदी में अर्थ

श्रीकृष्ण उत्तर देते हैं: परम और अविनाशी तत्त्व ब्रह्म है। व्यक्ति का अपना मूल स्वभाव अध्यात्म कहलाता है। जिस सृजनकारी शक्ति से सभी प्राणी उत्पन्न होते और बढ़ते हैं, उसे कर्म कहते हैं।
