मूल श्लोकः

एषा ब्राह्मी स्थितिः पार्थ नैनां प्राप्य विमुह्यति।

स्थित्वाऽस्यामन्तकालेऽपि ब्रह्मनिर्वाणमृच्छति।।2.72।।

 

English Commentary By Swami Sivananda

2.72 एषा this, ब्राह्मी of Brahmic, स्थितिः state, पार्थ O Partha, न not, एनाम् this, प्राप्य having obtained, विमुह्यति is deluded, स्थित्वा being established, अस्याम् in this, अन्तकाले at the end of life, अपि even, ब्रह्मनिर्वाणम् oneness with Brahman, ऋच्छति attains.

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,BrahmaNirvana (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 notSelf 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 entitledThe Sankhya Yoga.,

English Translation By Swami Sivananda

2.72 This is the Brahmic seat (eternal state), O son of Pritha. Attaining to this, none is deluded. Being established therein, even at the end of life, one attains to oneness with Brahman.
