Bhagavad-gita As It Is | July 18, 2012
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.
