Srimad Bhagavadgita Sadhaka Sanjivani -Swami Ramsukhdas
Chapter 18
Appendix:—A Karmayogi has his 'nitya' (eternal) affinity with God, a Jnanayogi has Tattvika unity, while the devotee, who has taken refuge in God, has 'atmiya affinity', ownness with God. In 'nitya' affinity there is renunciation of the transient relationship with the world; in 'tattvika' unity there is realization of the Self (Self-realization); and in 'atmiya' affinity there is oneness with God. In 'nitya' affinity there is 'santa rasa' (peaceful relish or bliss); in 'tattvika' unity there is 'akhanda rasa' and in 'atmiya' affinity there is infinite relish (bliss). Without attaining infinite relish, a man's hunger is not fully satisfied. The infinite relish can be attained by taking 'refuge' in God. Therefore 'seeking refuge in God' is the Supreme Secret and the best spiritual discipline. 'Sarvadharmanparityajya' does not mean physical abandonment of all duties but it means abandonment of dependence on all duties.
