यदा यदा हि धर्मस्य ग्लानिर्भवति भारत। अभ्युत्थानमधर्मस्य तदात्मानं सृजाम्यहम्।।

Whenever there is a decline in righteousness and an increase in unrighteousness, at that time I manifest myself on earth.

कर्मण्येवाधिकारस्ते मा फलेषु कदाचन। मा कर्मफलहेतुर्भूर्मा ते सङ्गोऽस्त्वकर्मणि।।

You have a right to perform your prescribed duties, but you are not entitled to the fruits of your actions. Never consider yourself the cause of the results, and never be attached to not doing your duty.

तत्त्वमसि

That thou art. You are the eternal Brahman. The individual self is identical with the universal consciousness.

अहं ब्रह्मास्मि

I am Brahman. I am the infinite, eternal, unchanging consciousness that underlies all existence.

उद्धरेदात्मनात्मानं नात्मानमवसादयेत्। आत्मैव ह्यात्मनो बन्धुरात्मैव रिपुरात्मनः।।

Elevate yourself through the power of your own mind, and do not degrade yourself, for the mind can be the friend and also the enemy of the self.

न जायते म्रियते वा कदाचिन् नायं भूत्वा भविता वा न भूयः। अजो नित्यः शाश्वतोऽयं पुराणो न हन्यते हन्यमाने शरीरे।।

The soul is never born nor dies at any time. It has not come into being, does not come into being, and will not come into being. It is unborn, eternal, ever-existing, and primeval. It is not slain when the body is slain.

एकं सद् विप्रा बहुधा वदन्ति

Truth is one; the wise call it by many names.

प्रज्ञानं ब्रह्म

Consciousness is Brahman. Pure awareness itself is the ultimate reality, not separate from it.
