The supreme state is reached through the path

Verse

मामुपेत्य पुनर्जन्म दुःखालयमशाश्वतम् ।नाप्नुवन्ति महात्मानः संसिद्धिं परमां गताः ॥

māmupetya punarjanma duḥkhālayamaśāśvatamnāpnuvanti mahātmānaḥ saṃsiddhiṃ paramāṃ gatāḥ

Having come to me, these great souls come not again to birth, this transient and painful condition of our mortal being; they reach the highest perfection.

Gītā 8·15

To know him so and so to seek him does not bind to rebirth or to the chain of Karma; the soul can satisfy its desire to escape permanently from the transient and painful condition of our mortal being.
