Question= what is the mark of a god-realized soul, stable of mind and established in samadhi ( perfect tranquillity of mind)? How does the man of stable mind speak, how he sits, how walks?

Reply= when one thoroughly abandons all cravings of the mind, and is satisfied in the self through (the joy of) the self, then he is called stable of mind.

The sage, whose mind remains unperturbed in sorrows, whose thirst for pleasures has altogether disappeared, and who is free from passion, fear and anger, is called stable of mind.

He who is unattached to everything and meeting with good and evil, neither rejoices nor recoils, his mind is stable.

When like a tortoise, which draws in its limbs from all directions, he withdraws his senses from the sense-objects, his mind has become stable.

Sense-objects cease for him, who does not enjoy them with his senses, but the taste for them persists. This relish also disappears in the case of the man of stable mind when he sees the supreme.

Turbulent by nature, the senses even of a wise man, who is practising self-control, forcibly carry away his mind,

Therefore having controlled them all and collecting his mind, one should sit for meditation, devoting oneself heart and soul to .Me(god), for he whose senses are mastered, his mind has become stable.

The man dwelling on sense-objects developes attachment for them, from attachment springs up desire, and from desire (unfulfilled) ensues anger.

From anger arises infatuation, from infatuation, confusion of memory, from confusion of memory, loss of reason, and from loss of reason one goes to complete ruin.

But the self-controlled practicant, while enjoying the various sense-objects through his senses, which are disciplined and free from likes and dislikes, attains placidity of mind.

With the attainment of such placidity of mind, all his sorrows come to an end, and the intellect of such a person of tranquil mind, soon withdrawing itself from all sides, becomes firmly established in .God.

He who has not controlled his mind and senses can have no determinate reason, nor can such an undisciplined man have belief (in god), the unbelieving man can have no peace, and how can there be happiness for one lacking peace of mind?

As the wind carries away a barge upon the waters, even so of the wandering senses, the one to which the mind is joined takes away his discrimination.

Therefore, you , he whose senses are completely restrained from their objects, his mind is stable.

That which is night to all beings, in that state ( of divine knowledge and supreme bliss ) the .God-realized yogi keeps awake. And that ( the ever-changeing, transient worldly happiness ) in which all beings keep awake is night to the seer.

As the waters ( of different rivers ) enter the ocean, which though full on all sides remains undisturbed, likewise he, in whom all enjoyments merge themselves, attains peace, not he, who hankers after such enjoyments.

He who gives up all desires and moves free from attachments, egoism and thirst for enjoyment, attains peace.

You, such is the state of the .God-realized soul, having reached this state, he overcomes delusion, and established in this state, even at the last moment, he attains .Brahmic .Bliss.
