Chapter-2 Sankhya Yogaḥ

eṣā brāhmī-sthitiḥ pārtha naināṁ prāpya vimuhyati | sthitvā’syām antakāle'pi brahma-nirvāṇam ṛcchati || 72 || 72. This is called the Brahmi-state, O Arjuna, attaining which none is deluded. By abiding in this state even at the hour of death, one attains Nirvana. Commentary The Brahmi-state which is characterised by immutable wisdom, is defined as the state of performing actions without motivation for rewards, which is preceded by the [theoretical] knowledge of the eternal ātman. It is the Brahmi-state, which secures the attainment of the Brahman (the ātman). After attaining such a state, one is not deluded, that is, will not again enter into the cycle of transmigration. Reaching this state even during the last years of life, one attains the blissful Brahman (the realisation of the ātman) which is full of beatitude. The meaning is that one attains Self-realisation which consists of pure bliss.
