Krishna now concludes the chapter by describing the final state of inner mastery.
He says that once a person attains this state of consciousness, delusion never returns. Even if this awareness is firmly held at the most critical moment—the end—it leads to liberation. This verse is not merely about the end of life; it is about reaching a point of no return in clarity.
This closes Chapter 2, which began with confusion and ends with complete inner steadiness.
Business Insight
The entrepreneurial mindset is not easy to develop.
It is shaped over time, tested repeatedly by failures, pressures, temptations, and uncertainty. Each phase hardens the mindset into character. Some entrepreneurs are unable to reach this mental stability and may get pulled back into old habits or distracted by seemingly lucrative alternatives.
In many such cases, the business itself may reach a stage of near shutdown.
However, even at this critical point, if the entrepreneur can attain mental stability and detachment, there is still a chance to recover. With the right mindset, clarity returns, decisions improve, and efforts regain direction. This mental shift itself can sometimes save the organization from closure.
Leadership Lesson
When an entrepreneur achieves success with the right mindset, something fundamental changes.
They gain deep knowledge of how to remain stable during both crises and celebrations. Once this understanding is internalized, future challenges—near-death situations for the business, loss of people, major restructuring—no longer shake them internally.
Such leaders are able to handle extreme situations smoothly, without getting sucked into prolonged mental agony. They remain functional, grounded, and composed, irrespective of the intensity of the situation.
This is the highest form of entrepreneurial maturity.

- Entrepreneurial mindset is forged through repeated tests
