Srimad Bhagavadgita Sadhaka Sanjivani -Swami Ramsukhdas
Chapter 14
Appendix:—Till affinity with the causal body, persists in mediation, a striver attains 'nirvikalpa sthiti' (a state of trance) and when this affinity goes away, then there is natural transcendental awareness—'nirvikalpa bodha'. There is relapse from the 'nirvikalpa sthiti' but from 'nirvikalpa bodha' there is no such relapse. It means that there is deviation in 'nirvikalpa sthiti' but there is never any such deviation at all in 'nirvikalpa bodha'; this transcendental awareness ever remains the same. This fact has been pointed out here by the expression 'sarge'pi nopajayante pralaye na vyathanti ca'. There are new creation and final dissolution in 'Prakrti'. Having attained God, Who transcends 'Prakrti', there is no effect of the new creation and final dissolution because that God-realized soul has no affinity with 'Prakrti'. That state, when there is no affinity with 'Prakrti', is also called 'atyantika pralaya'. It means that when a man has affinity with the body, the evolute of 'Prakrti', he becomes dependent[1] and follows the cycle of birth and death; but having totally renounced dimity with the evolute of 'Pralqti', he becomes independent, unconcerned and is freed from birth and death forever. Mama sadharmyamagatah:- This expression means that as God is Truth-Consciousness-Bliss solidified, so do the self-realized exalted souls become Truth-Consciousness-Bliss solidified.
