It discusses the state and effects of yoga, literally union, and the practices and path of the yogi, the contemplator on a quest for that union." ... 🔎︎ ātmaupamyena sarvatra samaṁ paśyati yo’rjuna | sukhaṁ vā yadi vā duḥkhaṁ sa yogī paramo mataḥ ||32||[↪](/trans/bg/06/32) Comparing everything with the self, one who beholds sameness, Arjuna; whether in happiness or in misery, this is considered the highest yogi. Notes: In here, "comparison with the self" is a process of empathic reflection founded in pristine insight. When awareness has been cleansed of obscurations, the elementary principles of actuality are perceived and engaged as threads and pathways of seamless connection with sentient beings and natural phenomena. The yogi functions like a taintless mirror placed before the collective of existence, incarnating freely into a myriad of harmonizing identities. He engages with insight into the fundamental composition and potentials of all things ever; his discernment penetrates the layers of confusion and the compounded entanglement of the sentient beings; and so he operates with empathy and deep affinity, grounded in the harmonic universals that are conducive for unification. - [▲](/trans/bg/06) - [◀](/trans/bg/06/31#hu) - [▶](/trans/bg/06/33#hu) - [1](/trans/bg/06/1#hu) - [2](/trans/bg/06/2#hu) - [3](/trans/bg/06/3#hu) - [4](/trans/bg/06/4#hu) - [5](/trans/bg/06/5#hu) - [6](/trans/bg/06/6#hu) - [7](/trans/bg/06/7#hu) - [8](/trans/bg/06/8#hu) - [9](/trans/bg/06/9#hu) - [10](/trans/bg/06/10#hu) - [11](/trans/bg/06/11#hu) - [12](/trans/bg/06/12#hu) - [13](/trans/bg/06/13#hu) - [14](/trans/bg/06/14#hu) - [15](/trans/bg/06/15#hu) - [16](/trans/bg/06/16#hu) - [17](/trans/bg/06/17#hu) - [18](/trans/bg/06/18#hu) - [19](/trans/bg/06/19#hu) - [20](/trans/bg/06/20#hu) - [21](/trans/bg/06/21#hu) - [22](/trans/bg/06/22#hu) - [23](/trans/bg/06/23#hu) - [24](/trans/bg/06/24#hu) - [25](/trans/bg/06/25#hu) - [26](/trans/bg/06/26#hu) - [27](/trans/bg/06/27#hu) - [28](/trans/bg/06/28#hu) - [29](/trans/bg/06/29#hu) - [30](/trans/bg/06/30#hu) - [31](/trans/bg/06/31#hu) - [32](/trans/bg/06/32#hu) - [33](/trans/bg/06/33#hu) - [34](/trans/bg/06/34#hu) - [35](/trans/bg/06/35#hu) - [36](/trans/bg/06/36#hu) - [37](/trans/bg/06/37#hu) - [38](/trans/bg/06/38#hu) - [39](/trans/bg/06/39#hu) - [40](/trans/bg/06/40#hu) - [41](/trans/bg/06/41#hu) - [42](/trans/bg/06/42#hu) - [43](/trans/bg/06/43#hu) - [44](/trans/bg/06/44#hu) - [45](/trans/bg/06/45#hu) - [46](/trans/bg/06/46#hu) - [47](/trans/bg/06/47#hu)
