Chapter 2 : Sankhya Yoga - The realm of truth

Ch 02 : Sh 51

कर्मजं बुद्धियुक्ता हि फलं त्यक्त्वा मनीषिणः ।
जन्मबन्धविनिर्मुक्ताः पदं गच्छन्त्यनामयम्‌ ॥

Transliteration

karma-jam buddhi-yukta hi phalam tyaktva manisinah
janma-bandha-vinirmuktah padam gacchanty anamayam

Translation

The wise, engaged in devotional service, take refuge in the Lord, and free themselves from the cycle of birth and death by renouncing the fruits of action in the material world. In this way they can attain that state beyond all miseries.

Purport

In earlier shloka Bhagvan Shri Krishna explained Arjuna that Buddhi yoga is the tool to achieve perfection in performing action and overcome the miseries in present life itself. Further explaining about the glory of Buddhi Yoga, Bhagvan described that a human who is able to fix his intelligence in Supreme Lord(Bhagvan Shri Krishna), not only becomes free from the cycle of death and birth but achieves the supreme abode, resides in the Dham of Bhagvan Shri Krishna
