SHRIMAD BHAGVAD GITA-A JAIN PERSPECTIVE
"Just as a lamp placed at a windless spot does not flicker so does the controlled mind of a person practicing yoga."- 19 यत्रोपरमते चित्तं निरुद्धं योगसेवया ।
यत्र चैवात्मनाऽऽत्मानं पश्यन्नात्मनि तुष्यति ॥ २० ॥ सुखमात्यन्तिकं यत्तद्बुद्धिग्राह्यमतीन्द्रियम् । वेत्ति यत्र न चैवायं स्थितश्चलति तत्त्वतः ॥ २१ ॥ यं लब्धवा चापरं लाभं मन्यते नाधिकं ततः । यस्मिन्स्थतो न दुःखेन गुरुणाऽपि विचाल्यते ||२२|| तं विद्याद्दुःखसंयोगवियोगं योगसञ्ज्ञितम् । स निश्चयेन योक्तव्यो योगोऽनिर्विण्णचेतसा ॥ २३ ॥
"Where process of thought disciplined by the practice of Yoga ceases to function self is able to see it self and remains fully satisfied." -20
"Yogi feels, that infinite bliss, which can be grasped only by intellect and which transcends physical senses. Where Yogi achieves this position he never moves from Reality." -21
