Guest guest Posted October 3, 2002 Report Share Posted October 3, 2002 Chapter 6 Verse 28 Yujnjann evam sadaa'tmaanam yogee vigata-kalmashhah / sukhena brahma-sa.nsparsham atyantam sukham ashnute // The Yogi, freed from sins, constantly engaging the mind thus, easily achieves the infinite Bliss of the contact with Brahman. LESSONS FROM BHAGAVAD GITA – 61 As taught by Parama Pujya Sri Swamiji Compiled by: Swami Dattananda Bhaktimala, August 1998 What is the final achievement of Yoga? He who has attained perfection in Yoga has a mind that is always at peace. He has destroyed the Rajas element in him. As such he has conquered the desire for sensual enjoyments. It is on account of the impulse of Rajas that desire for lustful enjoyments are born in a man. One who has the Rajas element in him pacified has a nature free from desire, anger and greed. As such, his mind is tranquil and full of peace. The Yogi with such a taintless mind, ever applying himself to Yoga, easily wins the highest happiness in the form of contact with Brahman. Therefore the Lord says, "The Yogi, freed from sins, constantly engaging the mind thus, easily achieves the infinite Bliss of the contact with Brahman" (Chapter 6, Verse 28). The Yogi by constantly engaging his mind in the contemplation of the Self eliminates all sinful thoughts and tendencies from his mind. Constant remembrance of God destroys all his sins. His mind becomes pure and tranquil such a mind becomes united with the Supreme Self, that is, Brahman and enjoys the infinite bliss of contact with it. New DSL Internet Access from SBC & http://sbc.
