Śaṅkarācārya's commentary
Those who, with the mind steadfast in Me, the Supreme Lord, strive for liberation from decay and death, realise in full, That, the Supreme (Para) Brahman. They realise in full the Reality underlying the Innermost individual Self (adhyātma), and they know all about action (karma).
