Translations
Their intellect absorbed in That, their self being That, established in That, with That as their supreme goal, they go whence there is no return, their sins dispelled by knowledge.
Meditating on the divine, having faith in the divine, concentrating on the divine, and losing themselves in the divine, their sins dissolve in wisdom, and they go from whence there is no return.
Those whose intellect is absorbed in That, whose Self is That, who are steadfast in That, and who have That as their supreme Goal—they attain the state of non-returning, their impurities having been removed by Knowledge.
जिनकी बुद्धि तदाकार हो रही है, जिनका मन तदाकार हो रहा है, जिनकी स्थिति परमात्मतत्वमें है, ऐसे परमात्मपरायण साधक ज्ञानके द्वारा पापरहित होकर अपुनरावृत्ति (परमगति) को प्राप्त होते हैं।Commentary
They fix their intellects on Brahman or the Supreme Self. They feel and realise that Brahman is their self. By constant and protracted meditation, they get established in Brahman. The whole world of names and forms vanishes for them. They live in Brahman alone. They have Brahman alone as their supreme goal or sole refuge. They rejoice in the Self alone. They are satisfied in the Self alone. They are contented in the Self alone. Such men never come back to this Samsara, as their sins are dispelled by knowledge (Brahma-Jnana).
(Cf.IX.34)
