Question is that what is the significance of this word avyayam coming last in the Bhagavad Gita was Rajvidya Rajagoyam. Yes our Acharyas explained three different significances of that word avyayam first is in terms of the eternal relevance of the knowledge second is in terms of the eternal effect of the knowledge and the third is in terms of the eternality of the process I’ll explain these three things so Rajvidya Rajagoyam this is 9.2 in the Bhagavad Gita what the avyayam refers to that this knowledge is eternally relevant it is not that okay Krishna tells earlier in the Bhagavad Gita 4.1 I gave this knowledge long ago to son God so it is not that now it has become irrelevant and it is not that Krishna because Krishna spoke 5000 years ago that today the knowledge has become irrelevant so avyayam means this knowledge is eternally relevant just as whether the times are modern or post-modern or ancient the sun is always required to illumine the world similarly the spiritual knowledge of Rajvidya is always required to illumine humanity that is one meaning of avyayam second meaning of avyayam is that the effect of the practice of this knowledge is eternal that means this Krishna talks about in 2.40 in the Bhagavad Gita so whatever practice we do that is never lost that means even if we practice bhakti for some time and then we are not we give up the practice of bhakti and then we even all our material assets will be lost but our devotional assets will stay with us so avyayam means even a little bhakti that we have practiced that will stay with us forever in that sense it is avyayam there is no vyaya of this practice of bhakti and third meaning of avyayam is that the process so second was the effect of the process on us is eternal third is that the process itself is eternal and that is what Srila Prabhupada explains in his purport that the impersonalists have the idea that we practice bhakti now and eventually we will merge in Bhagwan and then there is no need for bhakti but Krishna makes it clear that this is avyayam bhakti will go on eternally in fact in the Mayavadi conception Krishna completely turns around on the head and refutes in 18.54 in the Bhagavad Gita where Krishna says there he says that after one has attained liberation you know one has become situated in brahma bhuta one has become equipoised towards all things equipoised towards all beings then what happens then parabhakti one attains that means at the time when according to Mayavadis bhakti should end that is the time according to the Bhagavad Gita bhakti actually is attained that is of course pure devotion so that indicates that bhakti is never bhakti is always transcendental and bhakti is never transcended we never give up bhakti bhakti is what we continue eternally so in that sense it is avyayam so every single activity that we are doing you know every class that we attend every attend every mahamantra that we chant every shloka that we recite that is going to have eternal benefits for us bhakta sastra would say that even from the long term point of view of the elevation of the soul you know when a devotee while offering bhoga to Krishna is just ringing a bell you know for the liberation of the soul the sound of the ringing of the bell will have more value than the opening of a hundred hospitals and that will be have more that can do more destruction or bad karma then even the sound create a thunderous sound created by the explosion of an atom bomb so that is the potency of bhakti and that is that avyaya process which is knowledge is avyaya the effect on it is avyaya and the process will continue on avyaya that is what we have the opportunity to practice by the mercy of Srila Prabhupada
