Bahya-sparseshv asaktatma vindaty atmani yat sukham, sa brahma-yoga-yuktatma sukham akshayam ashnute

Those who are not attached to external sense pleasures realize divine bliss in the self. Being united with God through meditation, they experience unending happiness.

  • Inner joy transcends external pleasures
  • Divine connection brings lasting happiness
  • Detachment from senses leads to bliss
Sukham atyantikam yat tad buddhi-grahyam atindriyam, vetti yatra na caivayam sthitas chalati tattvatah

That which is the infinite happiness, grasped by the intellect and beyond the senses — knowing which, the yogi is established and never deviates from truth. This transcendent happiness is the goal of all meditation: not sense pleasure, but the infinite bliss known directly through a purified intellect.

  • Infinite happiness is beyond the senses and grasped by the intellect
  • Knowing this happiness, the yogi stands firm in truth
  • The bliss of Self-realization far exceeds any sensory experience
