My Personal Gita

Dr. S. Sankaranarayan

Those who have their intellect and self (mind) devoted to This; who have established themselves in This and have This [alone] as their supreme goal; and who have washed off their sins through [perfect] knowledge—they reach a state from which there is no more return.

Shri Purohit Swami

Meditating on the Divine, having faith in the Divine, concentrating on the Divine and losing themselves in the Divine, their sins dissolved in wisdom, they go whence there is no return.

Swami Adidevananda

Those whose intellects pursue It (the self), whose minds think about It, who undergo discipline for It, and who hold It as their highest object, have their impurities cleansed by knowledge and go whence there is no return.

Swami Gambirananda

Those who have their intellect absorbed in That, whose Self is That, who are steadfast in That, who have That as their supreme Goal-they attain the state of non-returning, their dirt having been removed by Knowledge.

Swami Sivananda

Their intellect absorbed in That, their self being That; established in That, with That as their supreme goal, they go whence there is no return, their sins dispelled by knowledge.

My Personal Gita

Dr. S. Sankaranarayan

There is no such translation for this shloka.

Shri Purohit Swami

Even in this world they conquer their earth-life whose minds, fixed on the Supreme, remain always balanced; for the Supreme has neither blemish nor bias.

Swami Adidevananda

Here itself Samsara is overcome by those whose minds rest in equalness. For the Brahman (individual self), when uncontaminated by Prakrti, is the same everywhere. Therefore they abide in Brahman.

Swami Gambirananda

Here [i.e. even while living in the body.] itself is rebirth conquered by them whose minds are established on sameness. Since Brahman is the same (in all) and free from defects, therefore they are established in Brahman.

Swami Sivananda

Even here (in this world) birth (everything) is overcome by those whose minds rest in equality; Brahman is spotless indeed and equal; therefore, they are established in Brahman.
