Shantim nirvana paramam matsam stham adhigachati II sloka 15
युञ्ज अन् एवं सदा आत्मानं योगी नियंत मानसः ।
शान्तिं निर्वाण परमां मद्सं स्थां अधिगछति ।। श्लोक १५
Keeping himself ever steadfast in this manner, the yogi of subdued mind attains the peace abiding in me and culminating in nirvana.
Hunger is appeased by the one who partakes of food. The peacae of blessedness comes to him who has reached the culmination of yoga. As heat is inherent in fire, peace pertains to paramatman. This peace or santi is synonymous with mukti or emancipation. And this is the fruit of yoga
The one who newly visits a city must first procure a good lodging for himself. Then he may roam about the city, seeing many interesting things. If the lodging is not fixed first, at sunset he will have difficulties in that respect. Similarly the man who has newly come into this world shall have to seek the everlasting shelter first at the feet of the lord. Then he may live in this world carefree and go about his undertakings. Otherwise the sunset of death will harass him much.
Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
