Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 2, Verse 72

Krishna said
एषा ब्राह्मी स्थितिः पार्थ नैनां प्राप्य विमुह्यति।स्थित्वाऽस्यामन्तकालेऽपि ब्रह्मनिर्वाणमृच्छति ॥2.72॥

eṣā brāhmī sthitiḥ pārtha naināṃ prāpya vimuhyatisthitvā'syāmantakāle'pi brahmanirvāṇamṛcchati

Meaning

Krishna concludes: Arjuna, this is the state of being rooted in Brahman (the ultimate reality). Reaching it, one is no longer deluded. Remaining in it even at the hour of death, one attains the peace of Brahman.

हिंदी में अर्थ

श्रीकृष्ण समापन करते हैं: हे पार्थ, यही ब्राह्मी स्थिति है, यानी परम सत्य में टिके रहने की अवस्था। इसे पाकर मनुष्य फिर मोह में नहीं पड़ता। अंत समय में भी इसमें स्थित रहकर वह ब्रह्म की परम शांति पाता है।
