The term 'supreme transformation of Consummation (nishtha)' refers to perfection or wisdom, specifically the highest stage of Brahma-jnana, which is awareness of Brahman. This transformation is of the same nature as Atma-jnana or Self-awareness, which in turn is of the same nature as the Self.
The Self is described in the Bhagavad Gita and Upanishads as:
Although knowledge is generally cognition of an object with form, the Self is formless and not an object of cognition in the usual sense.
Scriptural passages describe the Self as:
This is to prevent the misconception that the Self is dark or of the nature of darkness (Tamas). The Self is described as formless, and cognition of the Self's form is not possible.
Despite this, the Self reveals itself through pure reason (Buddhi), which is as pure and subtle as the Self and can manifest the aspect of the Self as consciousness.
Just as:
This leads common people to mistake the physical body for the Self. Materialists argue that consciousness is a characteristic of the physical body, but this is a misunderstanding.
Thus, the transformation of knowledge is the realization of the Self beyond physical and cognitive forms.

Brahma-Jnana encapsulates the understanding of the Self as transcendent, beyond physical forms and ordinary cognition. The true realization of Brahma-Jnana happens when one perceives the Self not as an object or through sensory perception but through the pure wisdom of Buddhi, aligning with scriptural descriptions found in texts like the Bhagavad Gita and Upanishads. This knowledge transitions one towards a state of consummate wisdom or nishtha.
