...8.10

I will now speak of the imperishable goal, sought after by knowers of the Vedas. People aspire toward this goal through celibacy and austerity - great sages attain this goal when they are free from attachment.

[11]

Restrain the senses, confine the mind to look inward, and established concentration on one's own breath.

[12]

Chanting the sacred syllable "Om" and remembering me while departing the body is how one attains this supreme goal.

[13]

One who can remember me without deviation of the mind finds me to be easily accessible.

[14]

Coming to me in this way, these great souls are no longer trapped in the cycle of misery and rebirth, for they have achieved perfection.

[15]

All the worlds, including the abode of Brahma, are subject to this cycle of return. But for whoever comes to me, there is no rebirth.

[16]
