"A seeker (yogi) who has thus controlled his body, mind and intellect, is best fitted for the highest meditation. In fact, all obstacles in meditation are nothing other than the milestones of sensuous appetites, emotional agitations and desire-problems. Once these chains are snapped, he comes to the natural condition of deep meditation, wherein the rediscovery of the Self must be instanteous and complete.
"This realization of the Self cannot be partial; it is not realization, if the meditator understands only himself to be Divine. To the realized, Divinity or the Self is Infinite and All-pervading. From the innermost sanctum of the Spirit when he looks out, he realizes nothing but Divinity – everywhere, in everyone, at all times. Therefore, the Lord says, such a person ‘realizes his own Self as the Self in all beings.’
"When a wave has realized its true nature to be the ocean, in its true ocean vision, there cannot be any other wave which is other than the ocean-essence."
-Swami Chinmayananda, Bhagawad Geetha, commentary on Chapter 5, verse 7
(He who is devoted to the path-of-action, whose mind is quite pure, who has conquered the self, who has subdued his senses, who realizes his Self as the Self in all beings, though acting, is not tainted)
