जो विशुद्ध (सात्त्विकी) बुद्धिसे युक्त, वैराग्यके आश्रित, एकान्तका सेवन करनेवाला और नियमित भोजन करनेवाला साधक धैर्यपूर्वक इन्द्रियोंका नियमन करके, शरीर-वाणी-मनको वशमें करके, शब्दादि विषयोंका त्याग करके और राग-द्वेषको छोड़कर निरन्तर ध्यानयोगके परायण हो जाता है, वह अहंकार, बल, दर्प, काम, क्रोध और परिग्रहका त्याग करके एवं निर्मम तथा शान्त होकर ब्रह्मप्राप्तिका पात्र हो जाता है।Commentary
Egoism Identifying the Self with the body, etc. This is the error of mistaking the physical body for the pure immortal Self. Balam That strength which is combined or united with passion, desire and attachment, and not the physical or other strength. Physical strength is natural. It is not possible to abandon this physical strength. Darpam Arrogance, insolence, selfassertive Rajasic vehemence this follows the state of exaltion., Man becomes arrogant when he possesses wealth or much learning.
When he becomes arrogant he violates Dharma and does wicked deeds. The aspirant even abandons the things which are necessary for the bare maintenance of the body. He becomes a Paramahamsa-Parivrajaka, a wandering or itinerant ascetic. He has no attachment to his body. He knows that even the body does not belong to him. Santa Peaceful, tranil, serene. Such an aspirant who has devotion to Selfknowledge, and who is endowed with the above virtues is fit to become Brahman.
