Swami Sarvapriyananda teaches Verses 24-29 from the Fifth chapter of the Bhagavad Gita. This series of talks unfolds the highest truths of Vedanta through the study of "The song of God".

🔆Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 5, Verse 24:

योऽन्त:सुखोऽन्तरारामस्तथान्तज्र्योतिरेव य: ।

स योगी ब्रह्मनिर्वाणं ब्रह्मभूतोऽधिगच्छति ।। 24।।

yo 'ntaḥ-sukho 'ntar-ārāmas tathāntar-jyotir eva yaḥ

sa yogī brahma-nirvāṇaṁ brahma-bhūto 'dhigachchhati

🔴With joy within, sporting within, and likewise, with light within, the Yogin becomes Brahman and wins the peace of Brahman.

🔆Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 5, Verse 25:

लभन्ते ब्रह्मनिर्वाणमृषय: क्षीणकल्मषा: |

छिन्नद्वैधा यतात्मान: सर्वभूतहिते रता: || 25||

labhante brahma-nirvāṇam ṛiṣhayaḥ kṣhīṇa-kalmaṣhāḥ

chhinna-dvaidhā yatātmānaḥ sarva-bhūta-hite ratāḥ

🔴The seers win the peace of Brahman, their sins attenuated, doubts cut through, the inner sense controlled; they are busy promoting the welfare of all living beings.

🔆Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 5, Verse 26:

कामक्रोधवियुक्तानां यतीनां यतचेतसाम् |

अभितो ब्रह्मनिर्वाणं वर्तते विदितात्मनाम् || 26||

kāma-krodha-viyuktānāṁ yatīnāṁ yata-chetasām

abhito brahma-nirvāṇaṁ vartate viditātmanām

🔴On both sides, the peace of Brahman is there for the self-restrained ascetics, who are released from lust and wrath, and have known the Self.

🔆Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 5, Verses 27-28:

स्पर्शान्कृत्वा बहिर्बाह्यांश्चक्षुश्चैवान्तरे भ्रुवो: |

प्राणापानौ समौ कृत्वा नासाभ्यन्तरचारिणौ || 27||

यतेन्द्रियमनोबुद्धिर्मुनिर्मोक्षपरायण: |

विगतेच्छाभयक्रोधो य: सदा मुक्त एव स: || 28||

🔴Keeping out external contacts, fixing the eye between the eye-brows, and equalizing the in-breath and the out-breath that move within the nostrils;

Controlling the senses, mind and intellect, and free from desire, fear and wrath, the silent sage intent on liberation is eternally emancipated, indeed.

🔆Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 5, Verse 29:

भोक्तारं यज्ञतपसां सर्वलोकमहेश्वरम् |

सुहृदं सर्वभूतानां ज्ञात्वा मां शान्तिमृच्छति || 29||

bhoktāraṁ yajña-tapasāṁ sarva-loka-maheśhvaram

suhṛidaṁ sarva-bhūtānāṁ jñātvā māṁ śhāntim ṛichchhati

🔴He attains peace knowing Me, the partaker of sacrifices and penances, the supreme Lord of the whole world and the friend of all living beings.
