Discipline of Meditation and Mental Restraint
जन्म कर्म च मे दिव्यमेवं यो वेत्ति तत्त्वतः । त्यक्त्वा देहं पुनर्जन्म नैति मामेति सो<र्जुन
janma karma ca me divyam evaṁ yo vetti tattvataḥ | tyaktvā dehaṁ punarjanma naiti mām eti so 'rjuna ||
اے ارجن! میرا جنم اور میرے اعمال دیویہ—پاک اور معمول کی حدوں سے ماورا—ہیں۔ جو شخص اسے حقیقتاً تَتْوَتَہٗ جان لیتا ہے، وہ جسم چھوڑنے کے بعد دوبارہ جنم میں نہیں آتا؛ بلکہ مجھے ہی پا لیتا ہے۔

Educational Q&A
True realization of the Lord’s divine nature—His appearance (janma) and deeds (karma) as transcendent and not karma-bound—breaks the cycle of rebirth; at death, such a knower attains the Lord rather than returning to samsara.
In the midst of the Kurukshetra setting, Krishna instructs Arjuna on the path of liberation. Here He states that understanding His divine manifestation and actions ‘as they truly are’ leads to freedom from rebirth and culminates in reaching Him.
