न स्वर्गो नैव नरको जीवन्मुक्तिर्न चैव हि, बहुनात्र किमुक्तेन योगदृष्ट्या न किञ्चन। ॥78॥

na svargo naiva narako jīvanmuktirna caiva hi, bahunātra kim-uktena yogadṛṣṭyā na kiñcana. (78)

This verse suggests that in the deeper understanding of reality, concepts like heaven, hell, and even liberation do not truly exist; instead, it points to a state of emptiness or non-existence. It emphasizes seeing beyond the usual ideas of life and the afterlife.
