Verse 8.11

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

yad akṣharaṁ veda-vido vadanti viśhanti yad yatayo vīta-rāgāḥ yad ichchhanto brahmacharyaṁ charanti tat te padaṁ saṅgraheṇa pravakṣhye

Meaning

Yo, the Veda peeps are all about this unbreakable thing, this ultimate goal. The chill, passion-free ascetics? They're all about it. It's what celibate peeps are chasing. I'm 'bout to drop some knowledge on you, fam.

Commentary

Okay, so like, the big O, the ultimate vibe, the main character energy? That's the highest level, the final boss, the thing everyone's tryna reach. It's, like, totally what the ancient texts are all about. Even Yama, the OG death dude, spilled the tea to Nachiketas about it. It's the reason peeps do the whole celibacy thing – to unlock that next level. It's also what Satyakama was asking Pippalada about. Basically, Om is the key to unlocking the ultimate reality, whether you're a total noob or a pro. It's like, the cheat code to the universe. Three Om's before you meditate? Yeah, that's the meta.
