Srimad Bhagavat Gita commentary chapter 8 verse 15

 Chapter 8 verse 15 

Having attained Me, the great souls are no more subject to rebirth in this world, which is transient and full of misery, because they have attained the highest perfection.” 

This concept of reaching enlightenment and therefore not getting subjected to cycle of birth and death is an established concept in sanatana dharma. Other major religions don’t even subscribe to rebirth which makes it very difficult to explain cause and effect and leave a lot of unanswered questions related to nature’s laws. That’s why it is said that every being in this universe is subject to and obeys the laws of sanatana dharma whether they are aware of it or not. Truth does not need the protection of agreement. It exists by itself. Krishna confirms that those beings who over multiple lives have accomplished the lotus feet of the Supreme Lord will not be subjected to the travails of this world, escapes from this cycle of birth and death and attains the highest state that a jiva can attain-merging with the paramatma!
