Srimad Bhagavat Gita commentary chapter 6 verse 32


Chapter 6 verse 32

“He, who, through the sameness of the Self, sees equality everywhere, be it pleasure or pain, is regarded as the highest yogi”

Yoga is union-the usual definition is union of the body, mind and intellect with the immutable Self. Krishna has in addition given various definitions of yoga in this chapter-union with severance from pain, union with the Self of everyone else, union with equanimity during pair of opposites-pleasure or pain, happiness or sorrow, fame or shame etc., This is the same state Krishna talks about in chapter 2- Sthitha Prajna- person who has complete control of the mind and makes it steady. Krishna has repeated the description of this state of being multiple times already in different verses of the Bhagavat Gita so far. Some lessons are worth repeating especially if it is being drilled into our souls by Divine themselves.
