Srimad Bhagavat Gita commentary chapter 6 verse 8


Chapter 6 verse 8

“The yogi who is satisfied with knowledge and wisdom, who remains unshaken, who has conquered the senses, to whom a lump of earth, a stone and gold are the same, is said to be harmonized and said to have attained nirvikalpa samadi”

Further to last verse, Krishna asks to treat highs and lows, fortune and penury as same. The person who views different forms of earth matter as the same- dust, sand, dirt, stone, gold and other precious stones are just matter at the end. Even body, mind and intellect are elements of matter and are impermanent. The person with this knowledge of permanence and impermanence is said to be a harmonized being and when attains realization of higher Self, attains nirvikalpa samadi while in physical living state itself.
