Verse 2
The Yoga of the Imperishable Brahman
Who is the Lord of sacrifice, and how does He live in the body, O Madhusudana? And how can those engaged in devotional service know You at the time of death?
Context & Meaning
Arjuna adds a sixth question — the most urgent one: how can the Divine be known at the very moment of death? This is not an abstract inquiry. The answer Krishna is about to give will shape the entire chapter and carry profound practical weight for every sincere practitioner.
