Gita 6.15
युञ्जन्नेवं सदात्मानं योगी नियतमानसः। शान्तिं निर्वाणपरमां मत्संस्थामधिगच्छति।।

yuñjann evaṁ sadātmānaṁ yogī niyata-mānasaḥ śāntiṁ nirvāṇa-paramāṁ mat-saṁsthām adhigacchati

"Thus constantly practicing, the yogi of controlled mind attains the peace of nirvana, the supreme state that abides in Me."

What This Means:

By practicing consistently with a controlled mind, the yogi reaches ultimate peace—nirvana—which exists in the Divine. This is the result of the meditation practice just described.

Going Deeper:

Nirvana (literally 'blown out'—extinction of ego-fire) combined with mat-samstha (established in Me) shows that liberation isn't mere negation but positive establishment in the Divine. The peace attained is 'parama'—supreme, not ordinary relaxation.

How To Apply This:

The promise: consistent practice leads to supreme peace. This isn't achieved overnight but through 'sada' (always) practicing. Trust the process; the destination is assured for those who persist.

Key Sanskrit Terms:

Sada= Always, constantlyNiyata-manasa= Of controlled mindNirvana-parama= Supreme nirvana/liberationMat-samstha= Established in Me, abiding in Me
