SA TU TAT PADAM APNOTI
YASMAT BHUYO NA JAYATE ||8
ONE WHO IS KNOWLEDGEABLE,ONE WHO HAS MIND CONTROL,
WILL REACHES THE THAT GOAL FROM WHERE (HE) IS NEVER BORN AGAIN ||8
This SHLOKA is again the same thing that we were told in last one but in a positive way . In Shloka 7 we were told that one is who is ignorant and one who has no control of mind, will be born again . In this one we are told as to who will be NOT born again. Remember Nachiket asked the question as to what happens after the death of physical body and Yama is telling him as to how to avoid the rebirth or the cycle of birth and death. So we are told that when one is gotten the knowledge and one who has control of the mind , will not be reborn This is simple to understand and there is nothing new in this statement . The question is why do we get rebirth ? The answer will lead to the answer that is given here. When we do things with attachment we are bound and then that binding leads to desire and that desire has to be satisfied and since we do not have physical body after the death, we have to be reborn as to get physical body ,so that we can satisfy out desires and fulfill attachments.
So the only way to be not borne again is to have no DESIRES and as mentioned by many one can not live without the action, one must do action without attachment. If we do Karma with no desire or expectation, we will not have attachment and so we will be free of the desires and that will end the cycle of birth and death.
So this the knowledge and one who acts on it -control of mind -will not be reborn.
