"That which is named as "Akshar" by the WISE who are the very source of the greatest KNOWLEDGE. The true sky doesn't break by the strong winds, but they do disperse the clouds. Similarly the True KNOWLEDGE is beyond that comprehended by the senses and is imperishable. Those who possess deep knowledge and understanding of Vedas call it "Akshar" as it represents that which is eternal, unchanging, and beyond decay. It is the manifestation of the Supreme Imperishable Bramhan which is considered as the Supreme Reality. It is beyond the limitations and perceptions of Maya. Those who rise above the allure and potential harm of sensory pleasures and attachments, inculcating dispassion and purifying the sense organs, they too await eagerly and yearn for it. In it's yearning those who don't mind subjecting themselves to the stringent discipline of 'Bramhachairya', more than a practice of celibacy or just abstaining from sexual activity, it encompasses self-control over the senses and discipline in all aspects of life, including thoughts, words, and actions. They attain a rarely attainable and profound state that enchants even the Vedas merging into Me said Lord Krishna to Arjun. He said let me tell you this again Parth, to which Arjun replied he was about to request Him to do the same. Then spoke Lord Krishna, the illuminator of the three worlds. Let the mind's tendency to run outside and getting pulled towards the sense gratification arrest, turning the mind inward, shifting focus from external stimuli and distractions to internal awareness and contemplation."
