Srimad Bhagavad Gita -Ramanujacharya

Chapter-15 Puruṣottama Yogaḥ

Commentary The Knowledge of the Self is indeed that which illuminates (reveals) everything else. External lights, however, are helpful only in removing the darkness which obstructs the contact between the senses and their objects. That supreme state of enlightenment is the supreme realm from which they do not return [to Samsāra] any more, it is My Supreme Abode; My glory (Vibhuti) — such is the meaning. mamaivāṃśo jīva-loke jīva-bhūtas sanātanaḥ | manaṣ ṣaṣṭhān-īndriyāṇi prakṛtisthāni karṣati || 7 || 7. An everlasting part of Myself, having become the Jīvātman in the mortal world, acquires the [five] senses, and the mind which is the sixth, and abides in Prakrti. [contemplation of the] Self, having rejected desires and been liberated from the pairs of contrasts known as pleasure and pain, the undeluded attain that immutable goal.
