repeating the single syllable `Om,' (signifying) the eternal Brahman, and meditating on me, he reaches the highest goal. To the devotee who constantly practises abstraction, O son of Pritha! and who with a mind not (turned) to anything else, is ever and constantly meditating on me, I am easy of access. The high-souled ones, who achieve the highest perfection, attaining to me, do not again come to life, which is transient, a home of woes.
