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

Taking refuge in this knowledge, they have come to share my nature. They are not born even at the creation, nor are they troubled at the dissolution.

Krishna describes the result of this knowledge. Those who rely on it come to sādharmya with him, a word meaning sharing the same nature or quality. Traditions read this differently: as identity with the divine, or as becoming like the divine while remaining distinct. Either way, such beings are no longer caught in the cosmic cycles. They are not born again when a new world comes forth, and they are not distressed when the world dissolves. The vast rhythms of creation and destruction described earlier in the Gita no longer touch them.
