Chapter 7 Verse 30

Those who know Me with the Adhibhuta (pertaining to the elements), Adhidaiva (pertaining to the gods), and the Adhiyajna (pertaining to the sacrifice) know Me even at the time of death, remaining steadfast in mind.

Core Meaning

This verse says that the Lord is present at three levels: in the material world (Adhibhuta), in the higher guiding order or divine power (Adhidaiva), and as the inner lord of our actions and rituals (Adhiyajna). To "know" Him means to recognise the Divine in the body and elements, in the law or guidance behind events, and in the heart that offers every action as a sacred act.

When a person realises the Divine in these three ways and keeps that awareness steady, even the moment of death becomes a time of clear remembrance. A mind fixed on the Divine does not drift into fear or confusion; it stays calm and directed toward union with the Source.

The practical point is: true knowledge is not only intellectual. It is a lived knowing that shapes how you act, how you see the world, and how you meet endings with peace.

Life Application

• Look for the Divine in everyday things: in nature, in people, and in the body — pause briefly each day to acknowledge that presence.
• Turn ordinary actions into offerings: before tasks, silently dedicate the work to a higher purpose so action becomes a form of worship.
• Practice a short end-of-day or transition prayer/chant to steady the mind and train yourself to remember the Divine at important moments.

Reflection Question

When today I face an ending or a choice, can I bring to it the awareness of the Divine in the world, in guidance, and in my actions?
