The Yoga of the Supreme Person

After cutting the tree, Krishna reveals what you find: 'Tataḥ padaṁ tat parimārgitavyam'—thereafter, you must seek that abode. 'Yasmin gatā na nivartanti bhūyaḥ'—from which, having gone, one never returns. This is the Supreme abode—not a temporary destination, but permanent refuge. Once you reach it, you don't come back to material existence. The cycle ends. 'Tam eva cādyaṁ puruṣaṁ prapadye'—I take refuge in that original Person. Not just a place, but a Person—the Supreme Person (Purushottama). 'Yataḥ pravṛttiḥ prasṛtā purāṇī'—from whom the ancient stream of activity has spread forth. This Person is the source of everything—all activity, all existence flows from Him. He's the original, the beginning, the source. When you cut the tree, you don't find emptiness—you find the Supreme Person. You take refuge in Him. This is the goal: not just cutting entanglement, but finding the Source. The tree came from Him, and when you cut it, you return to Him.
