The thirty-seventh in a series of talks by Swami Nirmalananda Giri (Abbot George Burke) on the Bhagavad Gita, India’s most famous scripture: the unforgettable dialog between Sri Krishna and Arjuna about the essence of spiritual life.
In this talk, starting with Chapter 8:00, Swamiji discusses the many questions Arjuna asks Krishna at the beginning of this chapter. Krishna talks of how a person’s thoughts at the time of death determine the next birth, and the predominant thoughts throughout a person’s life determine the thoughts which will arise at the time of death. He also discussed true bhakti, devotion.
