Bhagavad-Gita: 06 - The Yoga of Contemplation
= 06.21 =
sukham ātyantikaṁ yat tad
buddhi-grāhyam atīndriyam |
vetti yatra na caivāyaṁ
sthitaś calati tattvataḥ ||21||↪
This very infinite happiness,
grasped by discernment, beyond the senses;
Knowing which, he will never
depart from the state of truths.
Notes: The term buddhi, commonly translated as "intellect", here refers specifically to discernment, or the process of examination where illusions are deconstructed and eliminated. These illusions, the projections of a conditioned mind as a holographic overlay of reality, are dispelled and replaced by the establishment of an unshaking perception of the tattvas and the dharmas — the fundamental and self-neutral elements, characteristics, and processes of existence — the categories of actuality existing and operating independent of the relative and deluded subject. Established as the witness of this underlying actuality, the yogi abides and operates on a plane of endless ease and comfort, with the matrix of the world but a liberated pastime unfolding on the clear canvas of awareness. Transcending the bondage of hallucinations, seated in unwavering truth, he is reposed in a domain of perception beyond the senses, in supreme independence.
