Transliteration
tataḥ padaṁ tat parimārgitavyaṁ yasmin gatā na nivartanti bhūyaḥ tam eva chādyaṁ puruṣhaṁ prapadye yataḥ pravṛittiḥ prasṛitā purāṇī
In plain words
You keep chasing the next thing, the next fix, the next person or achievement—hoping one of them will finally feel like home. Krishna says: there is a place in you that doesn't move, doesn't fail, doesn't disappear. Stop looking outward for what you've already been given. Turn toward that ground beneath everything, and you'll stop falling.
Word by Word
Krishna now reveals the ultimate truth: there exists a Supreme Person beyond the perishable and imperishable realms, from whom all creation flows eternally. This Purushottama is the source of all existence, the one from whom there is no return once you truly reach Him.
In your own spiritual search, stop seeking fulfillment in temporary achievements and shifting circumstances — turn your gaze inward to that unchanging Source that sustains your very being.
