What is the result of the disciplined mind? The result is that the mind, disciplined by the practice of Yoga, comes to rest and he, beholding the self by the self, is satisfied in the self.(20) What happens after he has felt satisfied in the self? He feels eternal and supreme bliss which transcends the senses, and wherein established the said Yogi never deviates from the self.(21) Why does he not deviate from the self? He does not deviate because he does not think any gain greater than that and established in that, he is not shaken even by the heaviest affliction; because in that state there is no lack of bliss and no reach of pain.(22) How should this singular bliss be attained? The state, which is free from the contact of pain viz., in which there is total renunciation of affinity for the world, should be known as Yoga. Such Yoga should be attained with determination with an unwearied mind.(23) Is there, also any other means to attain that Yoga (equanimity as an end)? Yes, the other means is the meditation on the Absolute (Who is formless and attributeless). Abandoning without reserve all desires arising from thoughts of the world, and fully restraining the senses from all sides by the mind, by intellect full of patience, he should through gradual practice attain tranquillity and having established the mind in God. He should not think of anything else.(24-25) |
