"Having attained Which, he does not think of any other gain as superior to That; being established in Which he is not shaken by the greatest of miseries."
Inspired by this text from the Bhagavad Gita (6.22), Swami Sarvapriyananda elucidates the nature of ultimate knowledge and bliss.
यं लब्ध्वा चापरं लाभं मन्यते नाधिकं तत: |
यस्मिन्स्थितो न दु:खेन गुरुणापि विचाल्यते || 22||
yaṁ labdhvā chāparaṁ lābhaṁ manyate nādhikaṁ tataḥ
yasmin sthito na duḥkhena guruṇāpi vichālyate
