There is such great fun in leaving yourself behind and turning a servant to the Truth. It’s almost like Krishna advising Arjuna, “Talk in everlasting words and dedicate them all to Me—*mām ekaṃ śaraṇaṃ vraja, sarva-dharmān parityajya*.” And at numerous places in the *Bhagavad Gita*, he says, “Arjuna, you are not fighting for yourself, you are fighting for Me. As long as you fight for yourself, if you win, you suffer, and if you lose, you suffer. And when you fight for Me, then you are a victor even before the fight begins.”

Questioner: What is meant when it is said, “Talk in everlasting words and dedicate them all to me?”
Acharya Prashant: Man comes and goes. Things come and go. Time flies away. Words are all like bubbles, appearing meaningful at one moment and with no substance the next. However, there is a particular quality of word that lasts, that beats time. “Talk in everlasting words and dedicate them all to me.” Words dedicated to the Truth never end, never go away. Those words become an Upanishad, a Gita. Those words are forever, then, remembered as couplets of Kabir or songs of a Rumi.
