Akshara Brahma Yoga

तस्मात्सर्वेषु कालेषु मामनुस्मर युध्य च। मय्यर्पितमनोबुद्धिर्मामेवैष्यस्यसंशयम्॥

tasmāt sarveṣu kāleṣu mām anusmara yudhya ca, mayy arpita-mano-buddhir mām evaiṣyasy asaṁśayam

Meaning

Remembering and acting aren't presented as separate here. You don't have to pause your life to stay centered. The instruction is to carry that center with you into whatever you're already doing.

Reflection

Stay centered while you act. You don't have to pause your life to remember what matters.
