(51) That man who, being inspired with a pure Reason and courageously controlling himself, gives up the objects (of the senses) such as, sound etc., and eschews love or hate; (52) and stays in a 'vivikta (that is, a chosen, or a solitary) place; who eats little, and whose body, speech, and mind are under his control, and who is continually meditative and apathetic; (53) who (similarly), having given up egoism, power, pride, desire, and anger and all 'parigraha' (that is, bonds), has become peaceful, or self-less, such a man is fit to become Merged-in-Brahman (brahma-bhuta).
