Esha brahmi sthitih partha nainam prapya vimuhyati sthitvasyam anta-kale 'pi brahma-nirvanam ricchati
Translation & Meaning
That is the way of the spiritual and godly life, after attaining which a man is not bewildered. If one is thus situated even at the hour of death, one can enter into the kingdom of God. The final verse of Chapter 2 describes brahmi sthiti — the state of Brahman-consciousness — as the supreme destination. One who attains this state is never again deluded, and even at death merges into the Absolute.
