ihaiva tair-jitaḥ sargo yeṣāṃ sāmye sthitaṃ manaḥ |
nir-doṣaṃ hi samaṃ brahma tasmād-brahmaṇi sthitāḥ || 19 ||

19. Even here and now Samsāra is overcome by those whose minds rest in equanimity. For the
Brahman (individual Self), when uncontaminated by Prakrti, is the same everywhere, therefore they
are established in Brahman.

Commentary

Those who have realized the equality of all Jīvas in the aforesaid manner, even here and now, during their spiritual practice, overcome Samsāra. If one is established in the realization of the equality of all Selves, one then verily abides in [the state of] Brahman. Abiding in Brahman is indeed the conquest of Samsāra (transmigratory cycle). Those who realise the sameness of all Selves as having consciousness as their essential nature, are liberated.

Sri Krishna now teaches that manner of living by following which, a Karma Yogi attains maturity of wisdom in the form of equanimity of vision.
