ब्रह्मभूतः प्रसन्नात्मा न शोचति न काङ्क्षति । समः सर्वेषु भूतेषु मद्भक्तिं लभते पराम् ॥ ५४ ॥
brahma-bhūtaḥ prasannātmā na śhochati na kāṅkṣhati samaḥ sarveṣhu bhūteṣhu mad-bhaktiṁ labhate parām
Translation
Having become one with Brahman, serene in the Self, one neither grieves nor craves. Equal towards all beings, one attains supreme devotion to Me.
Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)
ब्रह्मभाव में स्थित, प्रसन्न मन वाला पुरुष न शोक करता है, न कामना करता है। सब प्राणियों में समभाव रखकर वह मेरी परा भक्ति को प्राप्त होता है।
Commentary
A striking sequence: even after realising Brahman, the journey goes on, into para bhakti, supreme devotion. The Gita does not place devotion below knowledge; it places the highest devotion after the highest knowledge. Serenity and equal vision are the ground on which pure love for God can flower.
