Chapter 14: Guṇa-traya-vibhāga-yoga: / Verse 27

Krishna stated that unflinching devotion to the Supreme enables one to transcend the gunas and attain Brahman. Here he explains how the process works.

Supreme Reality is indeed the abode of Brahman, the Immortal and Immutable. It is also the source of eternal dharma and absolute happiness. Being so, unflinching devotion to the Supreme is itself a full means to attain the Imperishable as well as absolute bliss.

Any dharma or pursuit becomes eternal when it takes its practitioner to the ‘eternal’. Our dharma is eternal, because it is based upon the eternal truth, the imperishable Soul that animates and activates the body. To understand such a Soul, to realize immortality, is virtually to become the immortal Brahman indeed. Soul is Imperishable. You are the Soul, hence Imperishable. This is the teaching and practice of our dharma. For devotion or wisdom, the end is the same.
