The Yoga of Knowledge and Wisdom

Krishna concludes Chapter 7 by describing those who know Him completely. 'Sādhibhūtādhidaivaṁ māṁ sādhiyajñaṁ ca ye viduḥ'—those who know Me as the governing principle of matter (adhibhuta), the celestial gods (adhidaiva), and sacrifice (adhiyajna). 'Prayāṇakāle 'pi ca māṁ te vidur yuktacetasaḥ'—at the time of death, they know Me with concentrated mind. This verse shows that those who know Krishna as everything—the material world, the celestial gods, and sacrifice—maintain that knowledge even at death. They're in full consciousness of Krishna at the moment of death, which leads to liberation. This verse concludes Chapter 7's revelation of Krishna's nature and the path to knowing Him.
