The one who realizes the Inner Self, is one with the Universal Self : Brahma. His mind and the total personality undergoes a basic transformation in attitude and perspective. He is not exhilarated by happiness nor is he made despondent by sorrow. His mind remains steady. He does not get disoriented. His joy does not depend on a contact with any external object. He is delighted in himself. His soul remains conjoined with his own Self, which is the Universe in microcosm. Therefore there is no end to his happiness. He is forever immersed in joy.
The pleasures and the joy which are dependent for their gratification on the intimate, close contact with external objects, are perishable, and finally end up in sorrow. They have a beginning and an end. Therefore, O son of Kunti, the wise ones do not get attached to them.
The one who is able to withstand the lashing of the passion and the agitation in this life has the true equipoise (of Yoga ) and he reaches the ultimate happiness The ultimate happiness is to be sought within oneself and the one who finds it is the true (self-realized ) yogi. His own inner self is the source of the ultimate happiness. It is there that he finds the light of the inner flame. He is a sage who reaches Nirvana, the ultimate freedom, in the Universal Consciousness (Brahma). There is no blemish in him. He is the complete master of his Self. He is free from the grasping power of the attachment and the obsession with the 'me and mine' He does not draw a line between me and the 'other'. He works for the well-being of all.
