Verse 29

The Yoga of Knowledge and Realization

Intelligent persons who are endeavoring for liberation from old age and death take refuge in Me in devotional service. They are actually Brahman because they entirely know everything about transcendental activities.

Context & Meaning

Those who seek liberation from the cycle of birth, aging, and death — and who take shelter in the Supreme to accomplish this — come to know Brahman in its entirety: what it is (adhyātma), how it acts (karma), and what it ultimately means. Surrender is the beginning of total knowledge.

Advaita

Liberation (mokṣa) from old age and death is the goal of true knowledge. By taking refuge in Brahman and understanding adhyātma — the inner Self — the seeker directly knows the Absolute and is freed.
