This 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.
🌟 Explanation:
This is the magnificent concluding verse of the chapter. Krishna declares that the state he has just described is the brāhmī sthitiḥ,the divine, spiritual state of consciousness. Once this state is achieved, a person is never again bewildered by the illusions of the material world. Krishna then offers a message of profound hope: even if one attains this state for a moment at the very end of life (anta-kāle ’pi, they achieve brahma-nirvāṇam,liberation and entry into the spiritual kingdom.
With this verse, the second chapter, "Sankhya Yoga" (The Yoga of Knowledge), comes to an end.
Today’s Takeaway
Live in the spiritual state. The ultimate goal of life is to achieve the Brahmi Sthiti—a state of consciousness free from ego, desire, and delusion. This isn't an abstract idea but a way of living that brings unshakable peace. And the Gita’s promise is that it's never too late. Every step toward this consciousness matters, even up to your final breath. Strive to live in this divine state, and you will find ultimate freedom. 🕊️✨
