Bhagavad Gita 8.11
यदक्षरं वेदविदो वदन्ति विशन्ति यद्यतयो वीतरागाः। यदिच्छन्तो ब्रह्मचर्यं चरन्ति तत्ते पदं संग्रहेण प्रवक्ष्ये॥
yad akṣharaṁ veda-vido vadanti viśhanti yad yatayo vīta-rāgāḥ yad ichchhanto brahmacharyaṁ charanti tat te padaṁ saṅgraheṇa pravakṣhye

What it means
That which Veda-knowers call the indestructible, which the passion-free self-controlled enter, desiring which they practice continence: that path I will declare to you briefly. The goal is certified by those who gave everything for it.
