This verse closes the meditation instruction block that began at 6.10. Five shlokas covered place, seat, posture, inner state, and now — the result. The yogi who practises this way consistently, with a disciplined mind, reaches the highest peace. Krishna calls it 'nirvana-parama' — the ultimate cessation of turmoil.

And where does this peace reside? 'Matsamsthaam' — in Me, says Krishna. The peace and the Divine are not separate destinations. Finding one means finding the other. The yogi who reaches deep stillness discovers that stillness is not empty — it is filled with the presence of the Supreme.

There is a beautiful completeness to this sequence. In five verses, Krishna has walked the seeker from choosing a quiet spot all the way to the highest peace. No esoteric secret, no impossible prerequisite — just clean ground, a steady seat, a still body, a focused mind, and consistent practice.

This is the concluding verse of the meditation block (6.10-6.15). In five shlokas, Krishna covered the place, seat, posture, inner disposition, and the final fruit of practice.

The word 'nirvana' appears in Buddhist tradition as well, meaning 'to be extinguished, to become still.' Here in the Gita, the same word denotes the supreme peace that is situated in the Divine. The Gita's nirvana is not void — it is full of Paramatma.
