sa yogī brahma-nirvāṇaṃ brahma-bhūto’dhigacchati – 5.24
The yogi who lives with inner happiness, revels within himself, and is guided by his own inner light. He, becoming Brahman, attains Braahmic redemption.
Chapter 5: Karma Sannyāsa Yoga – Yoga of Inner Renunciation - Verse 24
Ma Gurupriya
Treating the recurring attraction and repulsion at their very source, The yogi’s mind becomes a treasure-house of inner happiness, revelry and brilliance. Whatever thrills sense-object-contacts bring, lead only to misery, and hence are not desirable. They only strengthen the seeker’s discrimination and dispassion, and he is able to confidently turn inward and lean upon the Self.
Before long he starts rejoicing in inner spiritual happiness, which overwhelms him and he becomes an introvert. He realizes that all one sees outside has no ground or reality. One’s own inner Consciousness alone is projecting and imprinting the outer phenomena. So far he had felt that external grossness has its independent status, but now its hollowness is revealed beyond doubt.
His realization ascends to the Braahmic level, with characteral, behavioural and interactional excellences displaying benevolence, grace and grandeur.
