Srimad Bhagavad Gita -Ramanujacharya
Chapter-18 Mokṣa Sannyāsa Yogaḥ
yat tad agre viṣam iva pariṇāme’mṛtopamam | CommentaryAt the commencement of the spiritual practice (Yoga), because of the great effort required [to practice] and because the disengaging of the Self from Material nature does not occur naturally, one experiences great suffering. But in the end, after perseverance in the practice, when the essential nature of the Self, as truly detached from Prakrti, is realised then there is ecstatic joy. This joy is achieved through the cultivation of mental tranquillity produced by meditation upon the Self. |
