यदक्षरं वेदविदो वदन्ति विशन्ति यद्यतयो वीतरागाः। यदिच्छन्तो ब्रह्मचर्यं चरन्ति तत्ते पदं संग्रहेण प्रवक्ष्ये।।8.11।।

Meaning

Focus on your core purpose with disciplined detachment from outcomes. Success comes to those who commit fully to meaningful goals while releasing attachment to results.

Translation

I will briefly tell you about that immutable Goal which the knowers of the Vedas declare; those who are diligent, free from attachment, and aspire for it, enter into it. People practice celibacy for it.
