He is the Yukta; he hath happiness, Contentment, light, within.

Excerpt

But if a man shall learn, Even while he lives and bears his body's chain, To master lust and anger, he is blest! He is the Yukta; he hath happiness, Contentment, light, within: his life is merged In Brahma's life; he doth Nirvana touch! Thus go the Rishis unto rest, who dwell With sins effaced, with doubts at end, with hearts Governed and calm. Glad in all good they live, Nigh to the peace of God; and all those live Who pass their days exempt from greed and wrath, Subduing self and senses, knowing the Soul!

✨ To meditate on today

According to the Bhagavad Gita, whoever finds joy and light within himself is a Yogi, one united with God, and rejoices in the good of all living beings; to be “merged in Brahma’s life” means to dissolve into God in peace. Today, before looking for satisfaction outside, close your eyes for a moment and first seek the quiet joy that is already within you.
