Verse 7.8.22

अत्यन्तमेव स्वायत्तो यथेच्छसि तथा कुरु ।
यश्चान्नपानदानादावनादरमुपेयिवान् ।
तस्येदं पश्चिमं जन्म न स कर्म समुज्झति ॥ २२ ॥

atyantameva svāyatto yathecchasi tathā kuru |
yaścānnapānadānādāvanādaramupeyivān |
tasyedaṃ paścimaṃ janma na sa karma samujjhati || 22 ||

Hence it lies entirely in your power, to have or leave the world as you may like; either disregard your temporal enjoyments, if you have your final liberation; or continue in your acts and rites, in order to continue in your repeated transmigrations through endless births and deaths.
