Karma Sanyasa Yoga
Chapter 5, Verse 26
kāma krodha viyuktānāṁ
yatīnāṁ yata-cetasām
abhito brahma-nirvāṇaṁ
vartate viditātmanām
To those who are free from desire and anger, whose minds are controlled, who have attained self-mastery, who aspire for Realisation – the great Nirvana is close at hand.
The wise ones are completely “…free from desire and anger”. They have a perfectly controlled mind, which is focused on God. They have “…attained self-mastery” through meditation and yoga and are absorbed in the Self. In the eyes of the God-realised souls, there is only God who is the supreme reality.
“…the great Nirvana is close at hand.” They are in the state of supreme bliss. They perceive Brahman everywhere: here, there, in all directions, up, down, left, right, outside, inside. There is no place where Brahman doesn’t exist. They dive into the ocean of Brahman. They dive into the ocean of Narayana. For them, everywhere is just Narayana, and they sing, “Narayana, Narayana, Narayana, Narayana.” Even while here in the body, they enjoy the supreme state of bliss, Satchitananda. There’s not a single moment when their mind is diverted from the Divine form; there’s not a single moment when they are not chanting the praises of Narayana; for them there is no time or place where Narayana is not. There is no other reality, only the Narayana Krishna Reality, without any limitations.
