Verse 2.72

Verse 2.72: “This is the Brahmic state, O Son of Pritha, having attained it, one does not lapse into delusion. Abiding in this (same state) even at the final hour, one reaches extinguishment in Brahman.” (367)

Commentary called Jnaneshwari by Jnaneshwar:

Such is the Brahmic state unique and boundless. Those that are desireless, experience it, and attain the Supreme state without efforts in the long run. This Brahmic state through which the Sthitaprajna is enabled to become absorbed in the Brahman without being obstructed by the agitation of the heart arising at the time of death, that state is personally preached by Lord Krishna to Arjuna”—so said Samjaya.

Hearing Lord Krishna, Arjuna said to himself, that the Lord’s line of thinking was just what he wanted to his advantage. Since Lord Krishna has condemned all actions, the advice that I should wage the war automatically becomes void. With this idea Arjuna felt thrilled in his mind on hearing Lord Krishna, and he will now raise doubts and ask grave questions. It will be a very beautiful occasion since the talk is as the very abode of all religion or the deep and fathomless ocean of the nectar of true knowledge. The all-knowing God Almighty will himself narrate that account and the same will be narrated by Jnaneshwar [Jnaneshvara], the disciple of Nivrittinath [Nivritti-Natha]. (374)
