Verse 5.26
Verse 5.26: “In close proximity to (abhitah) the men of strict discipline (Yati) who are freed from passion and wrath and who, with minds controlled, have realised the Self, there abides (the Peace of) extinguishment in Brahman. (148)
Commentary called Jnaneshwari by Jnaneshwar:
Those that have wrenched out their minds from the objects of senses, and have kept them under their complete control and which once asleep there, do not awake—such persons are called Supreme Brahman Absolute. Such men, O Son of Pandu, are themselves the Supreme Brahman, the goal of those that have attained the realisation of knowledge of the Self. Were you to ask me how these beings, even though in human form, could attain the supreme state, I shall elucidate in brief.
