Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 15, Verse 4

Krishna said
ततः पदं तत्परिमार्गितव्य यस्मिन्गता न निवर्तन्ति भूयः।तमेव चाद्यं पुरुषं प्रपद्ये यतः प्रवृत्तिः प्रसृता पुराणी ॥15.4॥

tataḥ padaṃ tatparimārgitavya yasmingatā na nivartanti bhūyaḥtameva cādyaṃ puruṣaṃ prapadye yataḥ pravṛttiḥ prasṛtā purāṇī

Meaning

After that, one should seek the state from which those who reach it never return, thinking: 'I take refuge in that original Being from whom this ancient flow of the world came forth.'

हिंदी में अर्थ

उसके बाद उस परम पद को खोजना चाहिए, जहाँ पहुँचकर कोई लौटता नहीं। मन में यह भाव रखकर: 'मैं उस आदि पुरुष की शरण लेता हूँ, जिससे यह पुराना संसार-प्रवाह निकला है।'
