Verse 15·11

The yogi perceives the eternal Self

Verse

यतन्तो योगिनश्चैनं पश्यन्त्यात्मन्यवस्थितम् ।यतन्तोऽप्यकृतात्मानो नैनं पश्यंत्यचेतसः ॥

yatanto yoginaścainaṃ paśyantyātmanyavasthitamyatanto’pyakṛtātmāno nainaṃ paśyaṃtyacetasaḥ

The Yogins who strive, see the Lord in themselves; but though they strive to do so, the ignorant perceive Him not, as they are not formed in the spiritual mould.

Gītā 15·11

Man, to know himself, must be kṛtātmā, formed and complete in the spiritual mould, enlightened in the spiritual vision. The Yogins who have this eye of knowledge, see the Divine Being we are in their own endless reality, their own eternity of spirit.
