Meditation Yoga
Chapter 6, Verse 27
praśānta manasaṁ hyenaṁ
yoginaṁ sukham-uttamam
upaiti śānta rajasaṁ
brahma-bhūtam akalmaṣam
When the mind is completely quieted, then there comes upon the yogi the stainless, passionless, highest bliss of the soul that has become Brahman.
By constantly revolving in the mind the idea that one is not the body, that one is Brahman; by constantly remembering that one is not what one sees externally, and instead one sees the Divine residing within, the sadhak, the bhakta gets firmly established in the identity of the Divine. Like this, the sadhak, the bhakta reaches an advanced stage in the path of union with the Divine. Such a bhakta rises above the gunas.
“... the highest bliss of the soul that has become Brahman.” In this state, there is only the reflection of God, nothing else. There is no doubt, there is no judgement, there is nothing which will keep one imbalanced or in duality. One is fully absorbed in the Divine Self, so nothing can move the devotee, the bhakta. One finds the supreme happiness, experiences it and spreads it. The mind is fully absorbed in eternal knowledge and bliss.
When through meditation, one gets completely absorbed in Brahman and freed, one becomes serene, sinless, and passionless, and many other divine qualities awaken. Many different gifts get awakened, but one is completely untouched by anything.
Bhagavad Gita
