Chapter-6
Dhyanayoga
45. But the yogi who strives with assiduity is purified from sin; being perfected through many births he reaches the Supreme goal. For he has now reached the shore of self-realisation after overcoming the obstacles of thousand lives in millions of years (461-465). Because of this, all the means of emancipation follow him automatically and he occupies the royal throne of discriminating knowledge. The knowledge, which transcends all thought, recedes and he becomes merged in Brahman, which is beyond the reach of all thought. Then the mental clouds melt away, the windiness of wind (prana) comes to an end and the cidakasha becomes merged in the half syllabic bliss and espouses silence. He thus becomes the very embodiment of the Brahmic state, which is the highest goal (466-470). He has already swept off completely all dirt in the water in the form of crazy notions accumulated in the previous births. So as soon as he is born, the auspicious hour fixed for the wedding approaches and he is wedded to the Brahmic state and becomes one with it. Just as the cloud vanishes and becomes one with the sky, so he becomes merged while in his body with Brahman which is the origin and dissolution of the universe. |
