Chapter-12
Bhaktiyoga
4. And who controlling all their senses, and treating everyone alike, remains devoted to the good of all beings, they reach Me too. O Arjuna, the Jnanis try to realise the imperishable Brahman without form (36-40). How can the senses penetrate, that in which the mental activity comes to a stop and which even reason cannot enter? Since this Brahman is not to be found at one place, it is inaccessible even to profound meditation. Since it is without form and exists in all forms at all places, the mind finds it difficult to contemplate upon it and becomes non-plussed. It was never born nor will it ever take birth. One cannot say whether it exists or does not exist; so no means can be found to attain it. It neither moves nor stirs, it neither ends nor gets soiled. The Jnanis have brought this Brahman under their control, through their yogic power (41-45). They have consigned legions of sense-objects to the fire of dispassion and have brought with great fortitude, their parched senses under control. Then they withdraw the senses (from the external objects), holding them in leash through self-control and confine them in the cave of the heart. After closing the exit of the out-breath, they erect the tower of Mulabandha, after adopting a proper posture and Mudra. |
