Translator:
Those who, having taken refuge in this knowledge, have attained unity with Me, are neither born at the time of creation nor disturbed at the time of dissolution.

A Reading - Rantideb

Why: having taken refuge in this knowledge, one attains Krishna's own state, is not born again at creation, nor disturbed at dissolution, tying this specific knowledge to a stability that holds up through both major beginnings and major endings.

In life: real stability isn't tested by ordinary days, it's tested specifically at major transitions, a new beginning or a significant ending, and that's exactly when you find out how much of your peace was actually durable.

Teaching: notice how your own sense of stability holds up specifically during major beginnings and endings in your life, that's the real test this verse is pointing to, not how you feel on an unremarkable afternoon.

They have attained to My Being. They have become identical with Me. They live in Me with no thought of thou or I. They go beyond birth and death. There is no birth for them when creation begins and there is no death for them at the time of dissolution. Having reached Me they attain eternity? immortality and perfection. Having become identical with Me through the attainment of the knowledge of the Self by practising the necessary means? they are neither born at the time of creation nor are they disited at the time of dissolution. Knowledge of the Self is eulogised by the Lord in this verse.
