Verse 2

The Yoga of the Three Gunas

By taking refuge in this knowledge and attaining My nature, they are not born again at the time of creation, nor are they disturbed at the time of dissolution.

Context & Meaning

The fruit of this knowledge is stated immediately: those who truly absorb it attain the nature of God (mama sādharmyam) — and from that elevation, they are untouched by the cosmic cycles of creation and dissolution. They are not re-born at the start of a new universe, nor do they suffer at its end. They have stepped outside the river of time entirely. This is moksha described in its most cosmic dimension: freedom not just from personal suffering but from the entire machinery of manifestation.

Ramanujacharya

Vishishtadvaita

Mama sādharmyam — attaining My nature. For Ramanuja, this does not mean becoming God but rather sharing in the divine qualities — eternal, free, blissful, aware. The liberated soul does not cease to be a soul; it becomes fully itself, which is a soul that shares in the divine nature without being identical to it.
