Krishna continues :
"The masters of the mind who are free of passion and anger, who know themselves well, live in the quietude of Brahma everywhere and at all times. What practice of meditation do they follow to realize this equanimity? Whatever is external to the body and the mind (whatever belong to the material world that exists apart from the mind and the body of the individual)is forcibly pushed aside. It is not allowed to enter the mind. The vision is focused between the two eyebrows.The two flows of the breath: Prana and Apana, that is the flow of the incoming breath and the outgoing breath are made to flow simultaneously, using both nostrils at a time.( Normally only one nostril operates at a time. At the break of dawn , before sunrise, there is a time when two nostrils operate simultaneously. Yogis stay awake at dawn to catch that moment for the breathing exercise. Those brief moments are called the time of Brahma). The point in the middle of the eye-brows is the point at which the two nerves : Ida and Pingala meet. The yogi merges the breaths from the left and the right nostrils at that point. When he achieves this stage in the control of the breath, the consciousness transcends the barrier of the body. It breaks the confinement of individuality and becomes one with the universal consciousness. It is a rare transcendental experience of oneness. That is the moment when the yogi is liberated from the hold of the senses of the body and the hold of the mind, intellect, ego and the individual consciousness. He gets a glimpse of total freedom . The yogi aims at retaining this awareness and lives in it at all times. The least of all the benefits achieved by obtaining this experience is that it enables the yogi to stay free of fear, anxiety and (unreasonable) anger. "
Krishna concludes the teaching in this chapter with these words :
"The sacrifices which the humans offer unto life, the austerity which they practise for self-realization : all of these ultimately reach me. I taste them. ( I understand the motives behind them). I rule over them. I rule over all the realms of existence. Know me to be the unmotivated, selfless friend of all beings. The one who knows me as such will find the deepest peace. "
Aum that is the truth of life. With this ends the fifth chapter called Karma Sanyasa in the discipline of Yoga, which is a part of the doctrine of Brahma in the Upanishad called Bhagavad Geeta .
