Chapter 2: Transcendental Knowledgeसांख्ययोग
2:72
“O Partha, this is the spiritual and godly life, after attaining which a person is not bewildered. If one is established in this state even at the hour of death, one can attain the kingdom of God.”
Sanskrit
एषा ब्राह्मी स्थितिः पार्थ नैनां प्राप्य विमुह्यति | स्थित्वास्यामन्तकालेऽपि ब्रह्मनिर्वाणमृच्छति ||
Transliteration
eṣā brāhmī sthitiḥ pārtha naināṁ prāpya vimuhyati sthitvāsyām anta-kāle 'pi brahma-nirvāṇam ṛcchati
Commentary
This concluding verse describes the brahmic state - divine consciousness. One established in this state is never deluded. Even attaining it at death ensures liberation. This is the goal of all spiritual practice.
