एषा ब्राह्मी स्थिति: पार्थ नैनां प्राप्य विमुह्यति ।
स्थित्वास्यामन्तकालेऽपि ब्रह्मनिर्वाणमृच्छति ॥ २.७२ ॥

eṣā brāhmī sthitiḥ pārtha naināṁ prāpya vimuhyati |
sthitvāsyām-anta-kāle ’pi brahma-nirvāṇam-ṛcchati || 2.72 ||

The description of the Sthita-prajna and Sthita-dhee, by which Krishna answers all the questions of Arjuna on the subject, is concluded in the next verse by pointing out the pinnacle of spiritual attainment. From the fullness of the self-state, the Knower grows into Brahmic expansion, which marks the finale of spiritual unfoldment and enlightenment:

This is the Brahmee sthiti, O Partha, on attaining which man undergoes no delusion at any time.  Even if one is able to attain this in the last moment of his life, he gets Brahma-nirvana (the Brahmic redemption).

In fact, with this utterance Krishna completes his exposition of Sankhya Yoga. He began with a revelation of the immortal Soul. He then prescribed a discipline and refinement by which the immortal Soul can be realized. Finally he also indicated when will the yoga sadhana be completed and the seeker attain the yoga state. Following this, Arjuna raised the pertinent questions on Sthita-prajna and sthita-dhee, which he answered. Self-knowledge and Self-state are not necessarily a still and inactive one, as they are often taken to be. The Knower can as well be immensely functioning, thereby enriching his knowledge and benefiting the society around.

In fact, the path of Self-knowledge and seeking is one of expansion, elevation, integration, sublimation and fullness. The constricted individual in the hands of Self-wisdom undergoes a steady expansion and interactional ability. From the sthita-prajna state of still absorption, he evolves into the Brahmic vision and Brahma-sthiti. If the Self was first sought within the body, it is now found in the wide wakeful world.  The point in him now expands to the fullness of an endless circle.

The ocean need not remain still. It can be roaring with waves. No wave has a source other than the ocean. Nor does it have a terminus other than the same Ocean. What then whether there are waves or not?

The Brahma–sthiti allows no conflict, no contradiction, no disharmony. There is no gain or loss to further accrue to the Brahmic Knower. Everything is a mere extension and expansion of the same single Self. The Self is ever-abiding, ever-sustaining and ever-fulfilling. No interaction can pose any opposition. Everything will bring more of sublimation and enrichment alone.

This state is best illustrated in Krishna himself. Right from young age, he had to face a number of hazards, challenges and intimidations. He did not resent, relent or shrink from any venture. With every new event his personality only got more brightened and enriched. Even in the Kurukshetra battlefield it is the same note of brilliance and excellence that becomes evident in this illustrious gospel of his.
