CHAPTER 6
The Yog of Meditation

युञ्जन्नेवं सदात्मानं योगी विगतकल्मष:।
सुखेन ब्रह्रासंस्पर्शमत्यन्तं सुखमश्नुते ॥28॥

[ “Thus constantly dedicating his Self to God, the immaculate yogi experiences the eternal bliss of realization..” ]

The emphasis here is on sinlessness and continuous devotion. The yogi needs to possess these qualities before he can experience the blessedness of touching God and merging into him. So worship is a necessity.

सर्वभूतस्थमात्मानं सर्वभूता न चात्मनि।
इक्षते योगयुक्तात्मा सर्वत्र समदर्शन: ॥29॥

[ “The worshipper, whose Self has achieved the state of yog and who sees all with an equal eye, beholds his own Self in all beings and all beings in his Self.” ]

Yog brings about the state in which the even-minded worshipper sees the extension of his Soul in all beings and the existence of all beings in his own Soul. The advantage of the perception of this unity of all beings is the burden of the next verse.
