Bhagavad Gita 8.21

8.21 Krishna to Arjuna

अव्यक्तोऽक्षर इत्युक्तस्तमाहुः परमां गतिम् । यं प्राप्य न निवर्तन्ते तद्धाम परमं मम ॥

avyakto'kṣara ityuktastamāhuḥ paramāṃ gatim | yaṃ prāpya na nivartante taddhāma paramaṃ mama ||

That unmanifest is called the imperishable; they call it the highest goal. Having reached it, they do not return. That is my supreme abode.

वह अव्यक्त 'अक्षर' कहलाता है; उसी को परम गति कहते हैं। जिसे प्राप्त होकर लोग लौटते नहीं, वही मेरा परम धाम है।

The final goal is described not as a place to visit but as a home from which there is no falling back.

अंतिम लक्ष्य को किसी घूमने की जगह नहीं, बल्कि ऐसे घर के रूप में बताया गया है जहाँ से फिर गिरना नहीं होता।

Krishna identifies that unmanifest imperishable as the highest goal and his own supreme abode, from which there is no return.
