After attaining Me, the great souls, who are yogis in devotion, never return to this temporary world, which is full of miseries, because they have attained the highest perfection.

The world is here described honestly: duḥkhālaya — a place of suffering, and aśāśvata — impermanent. Not as a condemnation but as a clear-eyed diagnosis. The mahātmās who reach the Supreme are freed from this cycle forever. Liberation is not just peace — it is the end of all returning to pain.
