Simplified Perspective

This is the state of Brahman-realization, Arjuna—the unshakeable dwelling in your own true nature, where delusion cannot touch you. Once you know yourself as the eternal Self, even at the moment of death, you slip naturally into liberation, like a river flowing into the ocean.

This is not something earned through effort alone, but revealed through the clarity that comes when the mind stops claiming ownership of experience. When you stop resisting what is and simply abide as the witness, freedom becomes not a future promise but your present reality.
