The Practice of Meditation ╯

28

The infinite joy of touching Brahman is easily

attained by those who are free from the burden

of evil and established within themselves. 29 They

see the Self in every creature and all creation in

the Self. With consciousness unified through

meditation, they see everything with an equal eye.

30

I am ever present to those who have realized me in

every creature. Seeing all life as my manifestation,

they are never separated from me. 31 They worship

me in the hearts of all, and all their actions proceed

from me. Wherever they may live, they abide in me.

32

When a person responds to the joys and

sorrows of others as if they were his own, he has

attained the highest state of spiritual union.

O Krishna, the stillness of divine union which

you describe is beyond my comprehension.

How can the mind, which is so restless,

attain lasting peace? 34 Krishna, the mind is

restless, turbulent, powerful, violent; trying to

control it is like trying to tame the wind.
