yunjannevam sadatmanam yogi niyatamanasah
santim nirvanaparamam matsamsthamadhigacrhati
Thus, constantly meditating on Me, the Yoga of controlled mind attains everlasting peace, (Supreme Bliss) abiding in Me (Nirvana). 15
Comment:-
Yoga niyatamanasah:—One, who has controlled his mind is called 'Niyatamanasah'. A Yogi's mind, can be subdued, only if his exclusive aim is God-realization, without having any affinity for the world. Affinity for the world, does not allow the mind to be subdued.
A striver commits an error, if he thinks that he is a householder, having some caste, creed and colour etc. Thus he cannot meditate. A striver, should think that he is a striver, whose only aim is to meditate on God. His aim is not to attain, mystic power. Thus, by changing his Tess, he will be able to concentrate his mind, on God. With the change of T sense, the inner sense would automatically change.
Yunjannevam sadatmanam:—The word 'Evam' (thus), has been used for meditation and concentration of mind, described from the tenth to the fourteenth verses.
'Yunjan atmanarn means, that a striver should concentrate his mind on God, diverting it from the world. 'Sada means that he should practise meditation regularly, in seclusion and daily life, always having the aim of God-realization. Such practice, leads to an early success.
Santim Nivanaparamam matsamsthamadhigacchati:—This is a state, when established, nothing further remains to be attained. This state, is called Supreme-Peace or Supreme-Bliss or emancipation or salvation. A striver, attains peace by breaking off affinity with the world, while he attains Supreme-Peace, by attaining God-realization. The process of meditation, culminates in 'Nirvikalpa sthiti', (state of mind where there is absence of all thoughts). But, this is also a state, as it does not remain constant, as there is deviation from it, at times. This is not God-realization. Further to it, mere is 'Nirvikalpa bodha', which is Self-realization (God-realization). This is called Supreme-Peace. The same Supreme-Peace (in 5/12) has been called, 'Naisthikim Santim' (final peace) and (in 9/31) 'Sasvacchanti' (Eternal Peace).
