50. Learn from Me in brief, O son of Kunti, how reaching such perfection, he attains to Brahman, that supreme consummation of knowledge.
51. Endued with a pure intellect, subduing the body and the senses with fortitude, relinquishing sound and such other sense objects, abandoning attraction and hatred;
52. Resorting to a sequestered spot, eating but little, body, speech and mind controlled, ever engaged in meditation and concentration, possessed of dispassion;
53. Forsaking egoism, power, pride, lust, wrath and property, freed from the notion of "mine," and tranquil, he is fit for becoming Brahman.
54. Brahman-become, tranquil-minded, he neither grieves nor desires; the same to all beings, he attains to supreme devotion unto Me.
55. By devotion he knows Me in reality, what and who I am; then having known Me in reality, he forthwith enters into Me.
56. Even doing all actions always, taking refuge in Me—by My grace he attains to the eternal, immutable State.
57. Resigning mentally all deeds to Me, having Me as the highest goal, resorting to Buddhi-Yoga do you ever fix your mind on Me.
58. Fixing your mind on Me, you shall, by My grace, overcome all obstacles; but if from self-conceit you will not hear Me, you shall perish.
59. If filled with self-conceit you think, "I will not fight," vain is this your resolve; your Prakriti will constrain you.
60. Fettered, O son of Kunti, by your own Karma, born of your own nature, what you, from delusion, desire not to do, you shall have to do in spite of yourself.
—Bhagavad Gita, 18:50-60
