Bhagavad Gita 13.23

य एवं वेत्ति पुरुषं प्रकृतिं च गुणैःसह।सर्वथा वर्तमानोऽपि न स भूयोऽभिजायते॥

ya evaṁ vetti puruṣhaṁ prakṛitiṁ cha guṇaiḥ saha sarvathā vartamāno ’pi na sa bhūyo ’bhijāyate

Translation

He who thus knoweth Spirit and Matter with its qualities, in whatsoever condition he may be, he shall not be born again.

What it means

Whoever thus knows spirit and nature with its qualities, in whatever condition of life, is not born again. The promise is independent of circumstance. Understanding liberates from within any station.

Try this today

Knowing the two ends rebirth: the exit works regardless of current circumstances.

Something to reflect on

If liberation worked from any station, what is my excuse for waiting?
