Kapila’s Conclusion: Limits of Karma and Yoga; Supremacy of Bhakti and Qualification to Receive the Teaching
एतद्वै श्रद्धया भक्त्या योगाभ्यासेन नित्यश: । समाहितात्मा नि:सङ्गो विरक्त्या परिपश्यति ॥ ३० ॥
etad vai śraddhayā bhaktyā yogābhyāsena nityaśaḥ samāhitātmā niḥsaṅgo viraktyā paripaśyati
এই পরিপূর্ণ জ্ঞান সেই ব্যক্তি উপলব্ধি করে, যে শ্রদ্ধা ও ভক্তিসহ নিত্য যোগাভ্যাস করে, মনকে সমাহিত রাখে, সংসর্গহীন ও বৈরাগ্যবান হয় এবং সর্বদা পরম ভগবানে চিত্ত নিবিষ্ট রাখে।
The atheistic mystic practitioner of yoga cannot understand this perfect knowledge. Only persons who engage in the practical activities of devotional service in full Kṛṣṇa consciousness can become absorbed in full samādhi. It is possible for them to see and understand the actual fact of the entire cosmic manifestation and its cause. It is clearly stated here that this is not possible to understand for one who has not developed devotional service in full faith. The words samāhitātmā and samādhi are synonymous.
