अध्याय १३

II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II

आतां यावरी सुख I तें एवंविध देख I जेणें एकेंचि अशेख I विसरे जीवु II 127 II
मना वाचे काय I जें आपुली आप वाये I देहस्मृतीची त्राये I मोडित जें ये II 128 II
जयाचेनि जालेपणें I पांगुळा होईजे प्राणें I सात्विकासी दुणें I वरीही लाभु II 129 II
कां आघवियाचि इंद्रियवृत्ति I हृदयाचिया एकांतीं I थाटटूनि सुषुप्ति I आणि जें गा II 130 II
किंबहुना सोये I जीव आत्मयाची लाहे I तेथ जें होये I तया नाम सुख II 131 II

"Let Me now illustrate you Sukh, an intrinsic, lasting state of happiness, inner peace, or bliss. The pursuit and experience of Sukh can cause the individual soul (Jiva) to become so engrossed that it makes one forget everything else. It turns body, speech, mind inactive and dulls the body consciousness. The life force is absorbed back into its cosmic source, leading to unchangeable, eternal bliss. The concept of Sattva represents the quality of purity, harmony, goodness, and balance within the mind and body and therefore the pursuit and attainment of Sattva are considered the path to achieving true, lasting Sukh. When a practitioner experiences profound, internal "Sukh" or spiritual bliss, the constant outward flow of the mind through the senses (indriyas) naturally ceases. The Vruttis (mental activities) associated with these senses are internalized ("sleep in the heart"), leading to a state of inner stillness and tranquility. This withdrawal is a step toward higher states of consciousness where the mind becomes still and unified with the divine within."
