Upon gaining this, he thinks there is no greater gain. Being situated in such a position, one is never shaken, even in the midst of greatest difficulty.

6.20 - 6.23 Where, through the practice of Yoga, the mind, which is subdued everywhere by such practice, 'rejoices', i.e., rejoices in surpassing felicity; and where, perceiving through Yoga 'the self (Atman)' by 'the mind (Atman)' one is delighted by the self and indifferent to all other objects; and where, through Yoga, one 'knows', i.e., experiences that infinite happiness which can be grasped only by the 'intellect' contemplating on the self, but is beyond the grasp of the senses; where, remaining in that Yoga, one does not 'swerve from that state,' because of the overwhelming happiness that state confers; having gained which, he desires for it alone, even when he is awakened from Yoga, and does not hold anything else as a gain; where one is not moved even by 'the heaviest sorrow' caused by any berevaement like that of a virtuous son - let him know that disunion from all union with pain, i.e., which forms the opposite of union with pain, is called by the term Yoga. This Yoga must be practised with the determination of its nature as such from the beginning with a mind free from despondency, i.e., with zestful exaltation.

Commentary · English

A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada

By practice of yoga one becomes gradually detached from material concepts. This is the primary characteristic of the yoga principle. And after this, one becomes situated in trance, or samādhi, which means that the yogī realizes the Supersoul through transcendental mind and intelligence, without any of the misgivings of identifying the self with the Superself. Yoga practice is more or less based on the principles of the Patañjali system. Some unauthorized commentators try to identify the individual soul with the Supersoul, and the monists think this to be liberation, but they do not understand the real purpose of the Patañjali system of yoga. There is an acceptance of transcendental pleasure in the Patañjali system, but the monists do not accept this transcendental pleasure, out of fear of jeopardizing the theory of oneness. The duality of knowledge and knower is not accepted by the nondualist, but in this verse transcendental pleasure – realized through transcendental senses – is accepted. And this is corroborated by Patañjali Muni, the famous exponent of the yoga system. The great sage declares in his Yoga-sūtras (4.33): puruṣārtha-śūnyānāṁ guṇānāṁ pratiprasavaḥ kaivalyaṁ svarūpa-pratiṣṭhā vā citi-śaktir iti. This citi-śakti, or internal potency, is transcendental. Puruṣārtha means material religiosity, economic development, sense gratification and, at the end, the attempt to become one with the Supreme. This “oneness with the Supreme” is called kaivalyam by the monist. But according to Patañjali, this kaivalyam is an internal, or transcendental, potency by which the living entity becomes aware of his constitutional position. In the words of Lord Caitanya, this state of affairs is called ceto-darpaṇa-mārjanam, or clearance of the impure mirror of the mind. This “clearance” is actually liberation, or bhava-mahā-dāvāgni-nirvāpaṇam. The theory of nirvāṇa – also preliminary – corresponds with this principle. In the Bhāgavatam (2.10.6) this is called svarūpeṇa vyavasthitiḥ. The Bhagavad-gītā also confirms this situation in this verse. After nirvāṇa, or material cessation, there is the manifestation of spiritual activities, or devotional service to the Lord, known as Kṛṣṇa consciousness. In the words of the Bhāgavatam , svarūpeṇa vyavasthitiḥ: this is the “real life of the living entity.” Māyā, or illusion, is the condition of spiritual life contaminated by material infection. Liberation from this material infection does not mean destruction of the original eternal position of the living entity. Patañjali also accepts this by his words kaivalyaṁ svarūpa-pratiṣṭhā vā citi-śaktir iti. This citi-śakti, or transcendental pleasure, is real life. This is confirmed in the Vedānta-sūtra (1.1.12) as ānanda-mayo ’bhyāsāt. This natural transcendental pleasure is the ultimate goal of yoga and is easily achieved by execution of devotional service, or bhakti-yoga. Bhakti-yoga will be vividly described in the Seventh Chapter of Bhagavad-gītā . In the yoga system, as described in this chapter, there are two kinds of samādhi, called samprajñāta-samādhi and asamprajñāta-samādhi. When one becomes situated in the transcendental position by various philosophical researches, he is said to have achieved samprajñāta-samādhi. In the asamprajñāta-samādhi there is no longer any connection with mundane pleasure, for one is then transcendental to all sorts of happiness derived from the senses. When the yogī is once situated in that transcendental position, he is never shaken from it. Unless the yogī is able to reach this position, he is unsuccessful. Today’s so-called yoga practice, which involves various sense pleasures, is contradictory. A yogī indulging in sex and intoxication is a mockery. Even those yogīs who are attracted by the siddhis (perfections) in the process of yoga are not perfectly situated. If yogīs are attracted by the by-products of yoga, then they cannot attain the stage of perfection, as is stated in this verse. Persons, therefore, indulging in the make-show practice of gymnastic feats or siddhis should know that the aim of yoga is lost in that way. The best practice of yoga in this age is Kṛṣṇa consciousness, which is not baffling. A Kṛṣṇa conscious person is so happy in his occupation that he does not aspire after any other happiness. There are many impediments, especially in this age of hypocrisy, to practicing haṭha-yoga, dhyāna-yoga and jñāna-yoga, but there is no such problem in executing karma-yoga or bhakti-yoga. As long as the material body exists, one has to meet the demands of the body, namely eating, sleeping, defending and mating. But a person who is in pure bhakti-yoga, or in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, does not arouse the senses while meeting the demands of the body. Rather, he accepts the bare necessities of life, making the best use of a bad bargain, and enjoys transcendental happiness in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. He is callous toward incidental occurrences – such as accidents, disease, scarcity and even the death of a most dear relative – but he is always alert to execute his duties in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, or bhakti-yoga. Accidents never deviate him from his duty. As stated in the Bhagavad-gītā (2.14) , āgamāpāyino ’nityās tāṁs titikṣasva bhārata. He endures all such incidental occurrences because he knows that they come and go and do not affect his duties. In this way he achieves the highest perfection in yoga practice.

The Self is allfull and selfcontained. All the desires are fulfilled when one attains Selfrealisation. That is the reason why the Lord says There is no other acisition superior to Selfrealisation. If one gets himself established in the Supreme Self within? he cannot be shaken every by heavy sorrow and pain? because he is mindless and he is identifying himself with the sorrowless and painless Brahman. One can experience pain and sorrow when he identifies himself with the body and the mind. If there is no mind there cannot be any pain. When one is under chloroform he feels no pian even when his hand is amputated? because the mind is withdrawn from the body.

Swami Ramsukhdas

।।6.22।। व्याख्या--'यं लब्ध्वा चापरं लाभं मन्यते नाधिकं ततः'-- मनुष्यको जो सुख प्राप्त है, उससे अधिक सुख दीखता है तो वह उसके लोभमें आकर विचलित हो जाता है। जैसे, किसीको एक घंटेके सौ रुपये मिलते हैं। अगर उतने ही समयमें दूसरी जगह हजार रुपये मिलते हों, तो वह सौ रुपयोंकी स्थितिसे विचलित हो जायगा और हजार रूपयोंकी स्थितिमें चला जायगा। निद्रा, आलस्य और प्रमादका तामस सुख प्राप्त होनेपर भी जब विषयजन्य सुख ज्यादा अच्छा लगता है, उसमें अधिक सुख मालूम देता है, तब मनुष्य तामस सुखको छोड़कर विषयजन्य सुखकी तरफ लपककर चला जाता है। ऐसे ही जब वह विषयजन्य सुखसे ऊँचा उठता है, तब वह सात्त्विक सुखके लिये विचलित हो जाता है और जब सात्त्विक सुखसे भी ऊँचा उठता है, तब वह आत्यन्तिक सुखके लिये विचलित हो जाता है। परन्तु जब आत्यन्तिक सुख प्राप्त हो जाता है, तो फिर वह उससे विचलित नहीं होता; क्योंकि आत्यन्तिक सुखसे बढ़कर दूसरा कोई सुख, कोई लाभ है ही नहीं। आत्यन्तिक सुखमें सुखकी हद हो जाती है। ध्यानयोगीको जब ऐसा सुख मिल जाता है, तो फिर वह इस सुखसे विचलित हो ही कैसे सकता है?'यस्मिन्स्थितो न दुःखेन गुरुणापि विचाल्यते'--विचलित होनेका दूसरा कारण है कि लाभ तो अधिक होता हो, पर साथमें महान् दुःख हो, तो मनुष्य उस लाभसे विचलित हो जाता है। जैसे, हजार रुपये मिलते हों, पर साथमें प्राणोंका भी खतरा हो, तो मनुष्य हजार रुपयोंसे विचलित हो जाता है। ऐसे ही मनुष्य जिस किसी स्थितिमें स्थित होता है, वहाँ कोई भयंकर आफत आ जाती है, तो मनुष्य उस स्थितिको छोड़ देता है। परन्तु यहाँ भगवान् कहते हैं कि आत्यन्तिक सुखमें स्थित होनेपर योगी बड़े-से-बड़े दुःखसे भी विचलित नहीं किया जा सकता। जैसे, किसी कारणसे उसके शरीरको फाँसी दे दी जाय, शरीरके टुकड़े-टुकड़े कर दिये जायँ, आपसमें भिड़ते दो पहाड़ोंके बीचमें शरीर दबकर पिस जाय, जीते-जी शरीरकी चमड़ी उतारी जाय, शरीरमें तरह-तरहके छेद किये जायँ, उबलते हुए तेलमें शरीरको डाला जाय-- इस तरहके गुरुतर, महान् भयंकर दुःखोंके एक साथ आनेपर भी वह विचलित नहीं होता। वह विचलित क्यों नहीं किया जा सकता? कारण कि जितने भी दुःख आते हैं, वे सभी प्रकृतिके राज्यमें अर्थात् शरीर, इन्द्रियाँ, मन, बुद्धिमें ही आते हैं, जब कि आत्यन्तिक सुख, स्वरूप-बोध प्रकृतिसे अतीत तत्त्व है। परन्तु जब पुरुष प्रकृतिस्थ हो जाता है अर्थात् शरीरके साथ तादात्म्य कर लेता है, तब वह प्रकृतिजन्य अनुकूल-प्रतिकूल परिस्थितिमें अपनेको सुखी-दुःखी मानने लग जाता है (गीता 13। 21)। जब वह प्रकृतिसे सम्बन्ध-विच्छेद करके अपने स्वरूपभूत सुखका अनुभव कर लेता है, उसमें स्थित हो जाता है, तो फिर यह प्राकृतिक दुःख वहाँतक पहुँच ही नहीं सकता, उसका स्पर्श ही नहीं कर सकता। इसलिये शरीरमें कितनी ही आफत आनेपर भी वह अपनी स्थितिसे विचलित नहीं किया जा सकता। सम्बन्ध--जिस सुखकी प्राप्ति होनेपर उससे अधिक लाभकी सम्भावना नहीं रहती और जिसमें स्थित होनेपर बड़ा भारी दुःख भी विचलित नहीं करता, ऐसे सुखकी प्राप्तिके लिये आगेके श्लोकमें प्रेरणा करते हैं।
