Aksara Brahma Yogah - The Supreme Lord said: The indestructible Brahman is the ultimate reality, and one’s own nature is called the self. The creative force that brings beings into existence is called action.
श्रीभगवानुवाच अक्षरं ब्रह्म परमं स्वभावोऽध्यात्ममुच्यते |
भूतभावोद्भवकरो विसर्ग: कर्मसञ्ज्ञित: ||3||

The Supreme Lord said: The indestructible Brahman is the ultimate reality, and one’s own nature is called the self. The creative force that brings beings into existence is called action.

  • Aksharam: Indestructible or imperishable.
  • Bhavodbhava: Source of creation and dissolution.
  • Karma: Actions performed with intention.

Krishna begins with a succinct explanation of fundamental concepts: Brahman as the eternal, the self as one’s intrinsic nature, and karma as the creative force. This sets the foundation for understanding the interplay between the material and spiritual worlds.
