Bhagavad Gita Chapter 6 - Dhyana Yoga - Sloka 28

The entire content of this mail is from Swami Chidbhavananda's translation of The Bhagavad Gita, published by Ramakrishna Mission.

Progress in Yoga - 21-28
1 Gita Sloka every day - Chapter 6 - Dhyana Yoga - Sloka 28
 Muktinath - Muktinarayan Perumal

Yunjann evam sada atmanam yogi vigata kalmashah I
Sukhena brahma samsparsham  atyantam sukham asnute II sloka 28
युञ्जन्न एवं सदा आत्मानं योगी विगम्त कल्मषः ।
सुखेन ब्रह्म संस्पर्शं अत्यन्तं सुखं अश्नुते ।। श्लोक २८

Constantly engaging the mind this way, the yogi who has put away sin, attains with ease the infinite bliss of contact with the Brahman.

Mythology has it that there is such a thing as the philosopher's stone, contact with which converts base metal into gold. But this is an allegorical statement. Brahman is the real philosopher's stone. It is not easily accessible to all, but whoever gets It, becomes transformed. Ordinary souls who are base become adorable after their contact with the Brahman. They become heirs to Infinite Bliss. 
An immersed vessel is permeated by water inside as well as outside. The soul immersed in Iswara cognises Pure  Consciousness everywhere.
Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
