Part [BG.18.33]

TEXT 50:

siddhim prapto yatha brahma

tathapnoti nibodha me

samasenaiva kaunteya

nishtha jnanasya ya para

TRANSLATION:

O son of Kunti, learn from Me how one who has achieved this perfection

can attain to the supreme perfectional stage, Brahman, the stage

of highest knowledge, by acting in the way I shall now summarize.

PURPORT:

The Lord describes for Arjuna how one can achieve the highest

perfectional stage simply by being engaged in his occupational duty,

performing that duty for the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

One attains the supreme stage of Brahman simply by renouncing the

result of his work for the satisfaction of the Supreme Lord.

That is the process of self-realization. The actual perfection

of knowledge is in attaining pure Krishna consciousness;

that is described in the following verses.
