Bhagavad Gita – Chapter 5 – Karma-Sannyasa Yoga  Shri Bhagawan Uvaca: Verse 24-29: A person wants to be liberated from: 1.     Pain 2.     Problems of external world 3.     Emotions – anger, happiness, sadness etc. 4.     Birth and death 5.     Raga and dwesha 6.     Physical existence Question: What is Brahma nirvana? – once you reach to a state where you are established in brahman, which implies that you are in a state of being. Such a person is happy within Self (Brahman); self is related to identity. Someone may be satisfied with self (content within – “anthasukha”), but he/she is not in the state of Brahma nirvana. He/she is probably between the state of knowing and being. Sometimes a person shuttles between knowing and being state. The same experience is hard to repeat because your mind tries to realize the contents of memory. “Brahma Bhu Adhigachatti” – That person goes towards “being” Brahman - beyond the sea of existence (Bhu) – Brahman. Verse 25: 1.     At the stage of understanding – you have doubts.  2.     At the stage of knowing – you have removed some doubts. 3.     At the stage of being – you have no doubts. That person existence is for the benefits of everyone (all existence). Verse 26: That person is behaving like a rishi – controlling the mind. Verse 27: Meditation – how to practice dhyana? Muni – whose vibrations of mind are calm.
