इदं ज्ञानमुपाश्रित्य मम साधर्म्यमागताः । सर्गेऽपि नोपजायन्ते प्रलये न व्यथन्ति च ॥ २ ॥
idaṁ jñānam upāśhritya mama sādharmyam āgatāḥ sarge ’pi nopajāyante pralaye na vyathanti cha
Translation
Those who take refuge in this knowledge and come to share My nature are not born even at creation, nor are they troubled at the dissolution.
Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)
इस ज्ञान का आश्रय लेकर जो मेरे समान स्वरूप (साधर्म्य) को प्राप्त हो गए हैं, वे सृष्टि के समय भी उत्पन्न नहीं होते और प्रलय के समय भी व्यथित नहीं होते।
Commentary
Sadharmyam, "sharing the same nature," is carefully chosen. The liberated soul becomes like God in being free from the gunas. Different schools read this either as merging or as a likeness within a relationship. Such a soul is no longer swept along by the cosmic cycles of creation and dissolution described in 8.17–19 and 9.7–8.
