Learn from Me in brief, O Arjuna, how he who has attained perfection reaches Brahman (the Eternal), that supreme state of knowledge.

Learn from me briefly, son of Kunti, how one who has gained perfection reaches Brahman, which is the highest culmination of knowledge.

Krishna now briefly explains how one who has reached this perfection attains Brahman, which he calls the highest culmination of knowledge (jñāna). The verse introduces a short description of the final stages of the spiritual path. Having spoken of action and duty, Krishna turns to what lies at their summit. The word briefly signals that he is summarising teachings given at length earlier in the dialogue.
