Bhagavad Gita · Chapter 8: The Imperishable Absolute
Bhagavad Gita 8.21
अव्यक्तोऽक्षर इत्युक्तस्तमाहुः परमां गतिम् ।
यं प्राप्य न निवर्तन्ते तद्धाम परमं मम ॥
avyakto'kṣara ityuktastamāhuḥ paramāṃ gatim | yaṃ prāpya na nivartante taddhāma paramaṃ mama ||
It is called the unmanifest and the imperishable, and it is spoken of as the highest goal. Those who reach it do not return. That is my supreme abode.
Modern context
That eternal unmanifest is the highest goal, the place from which no one returns, and Krishna calls it 'my supreme abode'. The word dhama means home. After all the talk of worlds one passes through, this is the one place that is not a stop on a journey. It is where the journey ends. There is comfort in the word. The highest goal is not described as a distant summit but as a home.
