Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 2/Verse 72

एषा ब्राह्मी स्थितिः पार्थ नैनां प्राप्य विमुह्यति ।
स्थित्वास्यामन्तकालेऽपि ब्रह्मनिर्वाणमृच्छति ॥२- ७२॥

eṣā brāhmī sthitiḥ pārtha naināṃ prāpya vimuhyati ।
sthitvāsyāmantakāle'pi brahmanirvāṇamṛcchati ॥2- 72॥

O Son of Pṛthā, this is the Brāhmī state. Not having attained this, one is confused. Standing firm in it even at the time of the end, one attains the nirvana of Brahma.

Commentary

This verse can be very bewildering if one does not understand the concepts of Brahma and nirvana. Brahma is the energy of creation and Brāhmī is the feminine energy of that energy of creation. The feminine energy is always the receiving and enjoying principle of something. Much can be said about the state of Brāhmī, besides what has been written in this chapter. Nirvana is often roughly translated as bliss, but is it more correct to say that one snuffs out all in the state of nirvana. In this context with the word "brahmanirvāṇam", one would achieve a state snuffing out the state of Brahma even "at the time of the end."
