Translations
O son of Pritha, this is the eternal state, the Brahmic seat. Attaining this, one is not deluded. Being established in it, one attains oneness with Brahman even at the end of life.
O Arjuna! This is the state of the Self, the Supreme Spirit, to which, if one attains, it shall never be taken away. Even at the time of leaving the body, one will remain firmly enthroned there and become one with the Eternal.
O Partha, this is the state of being established in Brahman. One does not become deluded after attaining this; one attains identification with Brahman by being established in this state even in the closing years of one's life.
हे पृथानन्दन ! यह ब्राह्मी स्थिति है। इसको प्राप्त होकर कभी कोई मोहित नहीं होता। इस स्थितिमें यदि अन्तकालमें भी स्थित हो जाय, तो निर्वाण (शान्त) ब्रह्मकी प्राप्ति हो जाती है।Commentary
The state described in the previous verse -- to renounce everything and to live in Brahman -- is the Brahmic state or the state of Brahman. If one attains to this state one is never deluded. He attains Moksha if he stays in that state even at the hour of his death. It is needless to say that he who gets establised in Brahman throughout his life attains to the state of Brahman or, Brahma-Nirvana (Cf.VIII.5-6). Maharshi Vidyaranya says in his Panchadasi that Antakala here means the moment at which Avidya or mutual superimposition of the Self and the not-Self ends.
Thus in the Upanishads of the glorious Bhagavad Gita, the science of the Eternal, the scripture of Yoga, the dialogue between Sri Krishna and Arjuna, ends the second discourse entitled The Sankhya Yoga.,
