Translations
When he (the Yogi) feels that infinite bliss which can be grasped by the pure intellect and which transcends the senses, and is established therein, never moving away from the reality.
When he enjoys the bliss that surpasses the senses and can only be grasped by the pure intellect, when he comes to rest within his highest self, he will never again stray from reality.
When one experiences that absolute Bliss, which can be intuited by the intellect and which is beyond the senses, and being thus established, this person surely does not swerve from Reality.
जो सुख आत्यन्तिक, अतीन्द्रिय और बुद्धिग्राह्य है, उस सुखका जिस अवस्थामें अनुभव करता है और जिस सुखमें स्थित हुआ यह ध्यानयोगी फिर कभी तत्त्वसे विचलित नहीं होता।Commentary
The Infinite Bliss of the Self (which is beyond the reach of the senses) can be grasped (realised) by the pure intellect independently of the senses. During deep meditation the senses cease to function, as they are involved into their cause, the mind. The intellect is rendered pure by the practice of Yama (selfrestriant) and Niyama (observances and disciplinary practices) and constant meditation.
