Brahman in the Bhagavad Gita

The unchanging substrate of all that changes. Brahman is the Gita's word for ultimate reality — that which is, before anything appears.

• 4.24When action is fully absorbed, even the result is not separate from Brahman.
• 5.6Real renunciation grows through practice, not withdrawal.
• 5.19Sameness of mind is the real conquest; everything else is aftermath.
• 7.29Refuge in the divine opens total understanding of reality, inner life, and action.
• 8.1Clear seeing starts by asking what each word truly means.
• 8.3What lasts, what you are, and what you do are not the same.
• 13.13The highest reality frees you precisely because it outgrows every label.
• 13.15What sustains everything is beyond the senses that perceive it.
• 13.31Many beings are one reality seen through different forms.
• 14.27All ultimate freedom rests in Krishna, not apart from him.
