Chapter 2, Solaka 58.

As a tortoise draws his limbs (into the shell) likewise, a yogi draws his senses from worldly objects or the objects of the senses from every side. This is the art of meditation, when we draw the mind inside by using any method such as observation,nam Japa,observing our breath Vipassana. now what we are doing ? we are trying to withdraw our senses from outside (worldly objects) that is called (Antarmukha); then by practicing these methods we can find that eternal bliss or eternal peace in our hearts. which language never can describe. it is our destination.

Your very desire for grace is due to grace that is already working in you.

Comments; When we are seeking grace for us it means that we already know that grace is there but we do not understand it. So our desire for it shows that in our hearts we are missing something.this is meaning of Maharishi Ramana.

Chapter 6, Solaka 2; what they call renunciation that is also is Yoga because without leaving the fruit of karma no one can attain self-realization which is sannyasi.

If someone is his practice of meditation but his desires are there he wants to be, ‘ slow down his thoughts ‘ but his desires will come between ‘ then he will be disappointed. That is why the first step is karma yoga. doing work without wanting fruit. and then self-abidance.

Let a man lift himself by himself; let it not degrade himself; for the self alone is the friend of the self and the self alone is the enemy of the self.

Dhammapada;’ The self is the lord of the self; the self is the goal of self.’ The supreme is within us.it is consciousness underlying the ordinary individualized consciousness of everyday life but incommensurable with it. the two are different in kind, though the supreme is realizable by one who is prepared to lose his life in order to save it. for the most part we are unaware of the self because our attention is engaged by objects which we like or dislike.we must get away from them ,to become aware the divine in us. if we do not realize the pointlessness

Chapter 6, solaka 4. When one does not get attached to the objects of sense or to works, and he renounces all purposes, then he is said to have attained yoga.

Comments: when one enters the Samadhi, one’s mind becomes empty from the objects. It is also called Sunata. Then, we find the state of bliss. It is very rare to attain this state of eternal peace. It is such an experience that we can not define it by words or by language. It is like dawn in our life. We can experience this but can not explain it.It is a stage of self-realization. Then, worldly objects like pleasure and pain, happiness and sadness are not affected by who has achieved this stage.

one who has renounced all purposes, this is an ageless stage by the mortification of the ego,by total surrender to the will of the supreme, the aspirant develops a condition of mind approximating to the eternal.

The freed soul works without desire and attachment .all desires starts by Sankalpa (thought).

S

Chapter 6, Solaka 3; He who wants to enter into bliss or Self-realization should do his work without desire or fruit of karma. But when he enters in eternal life then he should practice of self -inquiry.

In this Solaka it is very clear that karma yoga is the outer part of mediation means doing work without the desire or wanting fruit and when one touches to bliss in his inner being then he should practice of self-inquiry.

Chapter 6, Solaka 2, Bhagavad Gita.

Lord Krishna said, that what they call renunciation, known to be a disciplined activity, Arjuna, no one becomes a yogin who has not renounced his selfish purpose.

Sannyasa( renunciation) that known to be a disciplined activity, No one can become a yogi who has not renounced his fruit of karma.

This is what Lord Krishna said in the first Solaka that renunciation and leaving the fruit of his karma both are the same. When one becomes a sannyasi he leaves his duties and the fruit of his work. Meaning he left his desires. and karma yoga he did not leave his work and family but he left his fruit of action. So he is the same by leaving his desires.
