Union with the Supreme Self culminates in purification and deathlessness; the liberated yogin does not return to the cycle of rebirth.
Bhishma, instructing on liberation, describes the final result of spiritual realization: the yogin attains the Paramatman, becomes identified with That, and is freed from return to worldly existence.
