“The man of faith, whose heart is devoted, whose senses are mastered: he finds
Brahman. Enlightened, he passes at once to the highest, the peace beyond
passion.” (Bhagavad Gita 4:39)
“His mind is dead to the touch of the external: it is alive to the bliss of the Atman.
Because his heart knows Brahman his happiness is for ever.” (Bhagavad Gita 5:21)
