The Key to Yoga - 45-53 1 Gita Sloka every day - Chapter 2 - Samkhya Yoga - Sloka 52
Yada te Moha kalilalam Buddhih vyatitarishyati I
Tada gantasi nirvedam shortavyasya shrutasyacha II soka 52
यदा ते मोह कलिलं बुद्धिः व्यतितरिष्यति ।
तदा गन्तासि निर्वेदं श्रोतव्यस्य श्रुतस्यच ।। श्लोक ५२
When your understanding transcends the taint of delusion, then shall you gain indifference to things heard and things yet to be heard.
After transcending the taint of delusion, the yogi is able to understand and distinguish between Atman & Prakriti, the real and the unreal, the Being and the becoming. The truth in itself is realised. The phenomenal existence is then evaluated for what it is worth. The inquirer evaluates the dream. He does not attribute one value to the dream he has heard of already and waits to attribute another value to the one that remains to be related to him. A Brahma-jnani hears of the scientific discoveries that have so far been made. He classifies them all as the various moddifications of the phenomenal universe as cognised by the intellect which is itself a phase of the fleeting phenomenon. The new discoveries that remain to be recounted to him will also brushed aside with the same remark. Events like the Maharashtra war present themselves as great and consequential to ordinary people. But the Brahma-jnani views them with utter indifference. The evolution and involution of the universe itself are meaningless to him.
An aspirant may wonder as to when such an exalted state would come to him. The assurance comes in the next sloka.
