असतो मा सद्गमय। 

तमसो मा ज्योतिर्गमय। 

मृत्योर्मा अमृतं गमय।

 ॐ शांतिः शांतिः शांतिः

विस्तरेणात्मनो योगं विभूतिं च जनार्दन ।

भूय: कथय तृप्‍तिर्हि श‍ृण्वतो नास्ति मेऽमृतम् ॥ 10.18 ॥

The Lord’s teaching is Nectar (amritam) to Arjuna. Who can find satisfy listening to such life-giving teaching, when the Lord is Himself the Speaker? Who can say ‘enough’? The teaching is immortal like the Lord Himself. 

The disciple should have such relish for the Guru’s words. All other things, the best of them, produce e the negative effect after so some time. But the Lord’s song of Immortality and Eternal Bliss can have no end, no diminution of interest and taste. It grows and grows till the whole being of man is filled with blissful adoration.

तदात्मानात्मनोः सम्यग्विवेकेनैव सिध्यति ।

ततो विवेकः कर्तव्यः प्रत्यगात्मसदात्मनोः ॥ 203॥

This realisation is attained by a perfect discrimination between the Self and the non-Self. Therefore one must strive for the discrimination between the individual soul and the eternal Self.

The verse highlights viveka — clear and correct discrimination — as the direct means to spiritual attainment. One must discern the real Self (सदात्मा), the pure witnessing Consciousness, from the non-Self (आत्मानात्म) such as body, mind, senses, thoughts, and ego. Liberation is not gained by effort in ritual, austerity, or external action, but only through this unwavering clarity of “I am the Self, not the body-mind.”
