Verse 7·18

The yogi transcends all births and returns

Verse

उदाराः सर्व एवैते ज्ञानी त्वात्मैव मे मतम् ।आस्थितः स हि युक्तात्मा मामेवानुत्तमां गतिम् ॥

udārāḥ sarva evaite jñānī tvātmaiva me matamāsthitaḥ sa hi yuktātmā māmevānuttamāṃ gatim

Noble are all these without exception, but the knower is verily my self; for as his highest goal he accepts Me, the Purushottama with whom he is in union.

Gītā 7·18

And this knower, says the Godhead in the Gita, is my self; the others seize only motives and aspects in Nature, but he the very self-being and all-being of the Purushottama with which he is in union. His is the divine birth in the supreme Nature, integral in being, completed in will, absolute in love, perfected in knowledge.
