BG 6.24 Steadfast in Brahman, beyond grief and duality.

 Bhagavad Gita 6.24 is part of the Dhyana Yoga (Yoga of Meditation) chapter. The verse in Sanskrit is:


सुखं त्विदानीं योगिनं प्राप्य निगदितं मतम्।

अभावाभावशोचो ब्रह्मनिष्ठः समाचरन्॥ 6.24॥


A commonly accepted translation is:


“Having attained the yogi who is established in Brahman, one experiences supreme happiness; he does not grieve over absence or presence, and remains steadily engaged in Brahman.”



Context:



  • This verse highlights the state of a yogi who has achieved inner stability through meditation and devotion.
  • Such a yogi transcends dualities like pleasure and pain, gain and loss, presence and absence.
  • It emphasizes equanimity and steadfastness in spiritual practice.



If you want, I can also provide a word-by-word breakdown of this verse—it makes the meaning much clearer. Do you want me to do that?
