  “When meditation is mastered,

The mind is unwavering like the

Flame of a lamp in a windless place.

In the still mind,

In the depths of meditation,

The Self reveals itself.

Beholding the Self

By means of the Self,

An aspirant knows the

Joy and peace of complete fulfillment.

Having attained that

Abiding joy beyond the senses,

Revealed in the stilled mind,

He never swerves from the eternal truth.”

― Bhagavad Gita
