How does the Yogi who meditates on you, the attributeless and formless one, behold the world? He looks on all as one, on the analogy of his ownself, and judges pleasure or pain everywhere by the same standard as he applies to himself. Such a Yogi is regarded as supreme.(32) Arjuna said—O Madhusudana (destroyer of the demon, Madhu), the Yoga of meditation in order to attain equanimity, which you have taught. owing to restlessness of mind. I don't perceive its stability; for the mind is very unsteady, turbulent, strong and obstinate. Therefore, I consider it as difficult to control as the wind.(33-34) Sri Bhagavan said—You arc right, O mightyarmed—The mind is, without doubt, unsteady and difficult to control. But O Kuntinandana. it can be controlled by practice and dispassion. This Yoga of meditation is difficult to attain by one whose mind and senses are not under control. But one, who has controlled his senses and mind, can attain this Yoga, such is my conviction.(35-36) Arjuna said—The striver who has faith in the spiritual discipline but whose effort is lax, if he deviates from Yoga at the time of death, having failed to attain perfection in Yoga (God-Realization), what end does he meet with? Without dependence on the world and deluded in the path of God, without any hold, does he not perish like the torn cloud, deprived of both? You can dispel this doubt of mine completely; for none other than yourself can destroy this doubt.(37—39) |
