or closing the eyes, they understand that these are only the movements of the senses among sense objects.
-Bhagavad Gita 5:8-9
• Closing their eyes, steadying their breathing, and focusing their attention on the center of spiritual consciousness, the wise master their senses, mind, and intellect through meditation. Self- realization is their only goal. Freed from selfish desire, fear, and anger, they live in freedom always. Knowing me as the friend of all creatures, the Lord of the universe, the end of all offerings and all spiritual disciplines, they attain eternal peace.
-Bhagavad Gita 5:27-29
• It is not those who lack energy or refrain from action, but those who work without expectation of reward who attain the goal of meditation. Theirs is true renunciation. Therefore, Arjuna, you should understand that renunciation and the performance of selfless service are the same. Those who cannot renounce attachment to the results of their work are far from the path.
-Bhagavad Gita 6:1-2
• When a person responds to the joys and sorrows of others as if they were his own, he has attained the highest state of spiritual union.
-Bhagavad Gita 6:32
• After many births the wise seek refuge in me, seeing me everywhere and in everything. Such great souls are very rare. There are others whose discrimination is misled by many desires.
