शान्तिं निर्वाणपरमां मत्संस्थामधिगच्छति ॥

Transliteration

yuñjann-evaṃ sadā’tmānaṃ yogī niyata-mānasaḥ |
śāntiṃ nirvāṇa paramāṃ mat-saṃsthām adhigacchati || 15 ||

Translation

Thus practicing control of the body, mind, and activities (Practicing yoga) this way, the Yogi, attains the ultimate peace [in this life] and reaches my kingdom [after cessation of this body] abiding in me forever.

Purport

In earlier Shlokas, Bhagvan Shri Krishna explained the method to practice Dhyana Yoga. In this Shloka giving reference to the process, Shri Krishna says one who practices Yoga using the prescribed methods, hence achieves perfection. He achieves ultimate peace in the present life and attains ‘Me’(Shri Krishna the God) after cessation of this body. It has to be noted in this Shloka and also in earlier, Bhagvan Shri Krishna giving reference to himself using the words "mat-saṃsthām adhigacchati"  which means comes to me. Bhagvan Shri Krishna hence is the ultimate goal of every living being.
