Chapter 15
Link:- The Lord in the next verse, points out the marks of those devotees, who attain the supreme goal (God) by taking refuge, in the primal Being (God).
nitmanamoha jitasangadosa adhyatmanitya vinivrttakamah
dvandvairvimuktasukh suhkhasadjnair gacchantyamudhah padamavyayam tat
Free from vanity and delusion, victorious over the evil of attachment, dwelling constantly m the self or God, with desires completely stilled, liberated from the dualities,(known as pleasure and pain), such highly placed undeluded strivers reach, the Eternal Goal. 5
Comment:-
Nirmanamohii:- When a person, has a sense of 'I' and 'mine' in the body, he has a desire to win, honour (respect) etc. He, by identifying the self, with a body, regards the honour of the body, as honour of the self, and he gets entangled. But those devotees, who regard only God, as theirs, have no sense of egoism and possession in the body, and so they do not get pleased, by honour (respect), of the body. Having taken refuge only in God, they are not attached to a body and so they have no desire, for honour (respect).
Having only the aim of God-realization and by depending on God only, those devotees, develop a disinclination, for the world. They become detached, from the world. So, they become free from worldly delusion.
Jitasangadosa:- Attraction towards God, is called devotion (love), and attraction towards the world, is called attachment. It is because of attachment, that evils such as a sense of possession, desire, lust and hope etc., arise. It is by taking refuge in God, that a striver gets victory over, all these evils.
A man, can be attached to both the objects acquired, as well unacquired. But, there is desire, only for unacquired ones. So the expression 'Vinivrttakamah' (desires completely stilled), has been used separately.
Adhyatmanityah:- When a devotee, takes refuge in God, his egoism changes.[1] He believes that he is God's and not of the world. Thus, he constantly dwells in Him. As a person, according to his birth, accepts that he is a Brahmana or Vaisya and he always remains, assured of it, even without, remembering it, so, do the devotees, who accept their affinity, for God, always dwell in Him.
Vinivrttakamah:- A man, desires mundane objects and favourable circumstances, only when he aims at mundane pleasure and prosperity. But those devotees, whose aim, is not to acquire mundane objects, become totally free, from desires.
