Krishna describes who reaches the Supreme abode: 'Nirmāna-mohāḥ'—free from false ego (māna) and delusion (moha). False ego means identifying with the material body, possessions, achievements. Delusion means seeing the material world as permanent, real, and the source of happiness. 'Jita-saṅga-doṣāḥ'—having conquered the faults of attachment. Attachment itself is the fault—it binds you to the tree. 'Adhyātma-nityāḥ'—always engaged in the service of the Supreme. Not just cutting trees, but actively serving the Source. 'Vinivṛtta-kāmāḥ'—freed from desires. Not suppressing desires, but transcending them through understanding. 'Dvandvair vimuktāḥ sukha-duḥkha-sañjñaiḥ'—freed from dualities known as happiness and distress. Not chasing pleasure or avoiding pain, but transcending both. 'Gacchanti amūḍhāḥ padam avyayam tat'—those who are not bewildered go to that imperishable abode. Bewilderment means confusion about what's real and what's temporary. Those who see clearly—who distinguish the eternal from the perishable—reach the Supreme abode.
