Bhagavad Gita · Chapter 18: Freedom through Renunciation
Bhagavad Gita 18.50
सिद्धिं प्राप्तो यथा ब्रह्म तथाप्नोति निबोध मे ।
समासेनैव कौन्तेय निष्ठा ज्ञानस्य या परा ॥
siddhiṃ prāpto yathā brahma tathāpnoti nibodha me | samāsenaiva kaunteya niṣṭhā jñānasya yā parā ||
Learn from me in brief, Arjuna, how one who has attained perfection reaches Brahman, which is the highest fulfilment of knowledge.
Modern context
Now Krishna describes how one who has reached perfection goes on to reach the absolute itself, the highest fulfilment of knowledge. The next few verses form a summary of the whole path: purified understanding, self-control, simplicity, meditation and the letting go of ego. It is the Gita's teaching in compressed form.
