When all things are destroyed with cycling of the universe, primal existence is what remains. Krishna says men who reach this state, which he calls "supreme dwelling," will not be reborn again(as he would attain moksh).He calls each of these rare individuals a Supreme Being.(2/5)
A yogic person mediates on the nature of the Self and God as existing beyond the body,mind, and senses as a supreme,unchanging soul.Through meditating upon this supreme soul or Krishna, that person will achieve freedom.They will be unattached to either suffering or serenity.(3/5)
Krishna insists that the union with God(moksh) will happen only if the enlightened person dies in light, such as daylight, firelight, or during the six months when the days are lengthening.(continue...)(4.1/5)
If the enlightened person dies in the dark of the year or at night, then they will enter the cycle of rebirth once more. The concept of light and dark is symbolic of the larger cycle of rebirth and liberation from rebirth.(4.2/5)
Shri Krishna concludes,
"वेदेषु यज्ञेषु तप:सु चैव
दानेषु यत्पुण्यफलं प्रदिष्टम् |
अत्येति तत्सर्वमिदं विदित्वा
योगी परं स्थानमुपैति चाद्यम् ||"
"Whatever auspicious results have been indicated in the Vedas, rituals, austerities and also in charity...."(continue)(5.1/5)
