TRANSLATION
Thus practicing control of the body, mind and activities, the mystic transcendentalist attains to the kingdom of God [or the abode of Kṛṣṇa] by cessation of material existence.
PURPORT
The ultimate goal in practicing  yoga  is now clearly explained.  Yoga  practice is not meant for attaining any kind of material facility; it is to enable the cessation of all material existence. One who seeks an improvement in health or aspires after material perfection is no  yogī  according to  Bhagavad-gītā . Nor does cessation of material existence entail one's entering into "the void," which is only a myth. There is no void anywhere within the creation of the Lord. Rather, the cessation of material existence enables one to enter into the spiritual sky, the abode of the Lord. The abode of the Lord is also clearly described in the  Bhagavad-gītā  as that place where there is no need of sun, moon, nor electricity. All the planets in the spiritual kingdom are self-illuminated like the sun in the material sky. The kingdom of God is everywhere, but the spiritual sky and the planets thereof are called  paraṁ dhāma , or superior abodes.
A consummate  yogī , who is perfect in understanding Lord Kṛṣṇa, as is clearly stated herein ( mat-cittaḥ ,  mat-paraḥ ,  mat-sthānam ) by the Lord Himself, can attain real peace and can ultimately reach His supreme abode, the Kṛṣṇa-loka known as Goloka Vṛndāvana. In the  Brahma-saṁhitā  it is clearly stated ( goloka eva nivasaty akhilātma-bhūtaḥ ) that the Lord, although residing always in His abode called Goloka, is the all-pervading Brahman and the localized Paramātmā as well by dint of His superior spiritual energies. No one can reach the spiritual sky or enter into the eternal
