Yo 'ntah-sukho 'ntar-araamas tathantar-jyotir eva yah, sa yogi brahma-nirvanam brahma-bhuto 'dhigacchati
One who finds happiness within, who finds delight within, and who finds light within — that yogi, being one with Brahman, attains the peace of Brahman. The highest joy is self-luminous and inward, not dependent on any external condition.
- •True happiness is found within, not in external objects
- •The inner light is the Brahman shining in the heart
- •The yogi who lives from within attains Brahman-nirvana
Yunjann evam sadatmanam yogi niyata-manasah, shantim nirvana-paramam mat-samstham adhigacchati
Ever disciplining the self thus, the yogi with controlled mind attains the peace of nirvana, supreme peace, which abides in Me. The culmination of meditation practice is this supreme peace — not a temporary calm but the nirvana that rests permanently in the Divine.
- •Consistent practice of meditation yields supreme and lasting peace
- •Nirvana-peace is not mere absence of disturbance but union with the Divine
- •Mind-control is the instrument; supreme peace is the fruit
