The pleasures which are born of
sense-contacts are verily a source of suffering only (though appearing as
enjoyable to worldly-minded people). They have a beginning and an end (they
come and go); Arjun, it is for this reason that a wise man does not indulge in
them. ,,,,,,, (22)
He alone, who is able to withstand, in
this very life before casting off this body, the urges of lust and anger, is a
Yogi, and he alone is a happy man. …… (23)
He who is happy within himself, enjoys
within himself the delight of the soul, and, even so, is illumined by the inner
light (light of the soul), such a Yogi (Shankhya Yogi) identified
with Brahma attains Brahma, who is all peace. ….. (24)
The
seers whose sins have been purged, whose doubts have been dispelled by
knowledge, whose disciplined mind is firmly established in God and who are
devoted to the welfare of all beings, attain Brahma, who is all peace. …………..
25)
To
those wise men who are free from lust and anger, who have subdued their mind
and have realized God. Brahma, the abode of eternal peace, is presenting
all-round. ….. (26)
Shutting
out all thoughts of external enjoyments, with the gaze fixed on the space between the eye-brows, having regulated the
Prana (outgoing) and the Apana (incoming) breaths flowing within the nostrils,
he who has brought his senses, mind and intellect under control - such a
contemplative soul intent on liberation and free from desire, fear and anger,
is ever liberated. ………… (27-28)
Having
known Me in reality as the enjoyer of all sacrifices and austerities, the
supreme Lord of all the worlds, and the selfless friend of all beings, My
devotee attains peace. ….. (29)
Thus,
in the Upanishad sung by the Lord, the Science of Brahma, the scripture of
Yoga, the dialogue between Sri Krishna and Arjun, ends the fifth chapter
entitled "The Yoga of Action and Knowledge."
