Purport Overview & Key Insights

The yukta — the joined one — is satisfied by knowledge and realisation together, unmoving, his senses mastered, seeing a clod of earth, a stone and gold as the same. Two words are used for knowing, and satisfaction requires both: what is understood and what has been lived.

✨ Devotional Takeaway:Satisfaction needs both jñāna and vijñāna — what is understood and what is lived.
