Srimad Bhagavad Gita -Ramanujacharya

Chapter-6 Dhyāna Yogaḥ

Prev.png

Sri Krishna now describes the third stage (of Yoga):—

sarva-bhūta-sthitaṃ yo māṃ bhajaty-ekatvam-āsthitaḥ |
sarvathā vartmāno’pi sa yogī mayi vartate || 31 ||

31. The Yogi who, established in unity, worships Me dwelling in all beings, he abides in Me,
howsoever he may live.

Commentary

The Yogi who is established in a state of harmony because of having the same form of expanded consciousness (as Myself), worships Me steadfastly by disregarding the differences of Prakrti (i.e., of the physical bodies). That Yogi, regardless of his mode of living, even while coming out of the state of meditation, continues to perceive Me only, in his own ātman as well as when seeing all other beings. The meaning is that he is [constantly] aware of the similarity to Me in his own Jīva and in the Jīvas of all other beings.
