The Liberated Person Enjoys Unlimited Happiness
In today's Thought for the Day I am sharing with you all a most sublime verse and purport from the Bhagavad-gita. This is Bhagavad-gita, Chapter 5, Text 21:
bāhya-sparśeṣv asaktātmā
vindaty ātmani yat sukham
sa brahma-yoga-yuktātmā
sukham akṣayam aśnute
Such a liberated person is not attracted to material sense pleasure but is always in trance, enjoying the pleasure within. In this way the self-realized person enjoys unlimited happiness, for he concentrates on the Supreme.
PURPORT by Srila Prabhupada:
Śrī Yāmunācārya, a great devotee in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, said:
yad-avadhi mama cetaḥ kṛṣṇa-pādāravinde
nava-nava-rasa-dhāmany udyataṁ rantum āsīt
tad-avadhi bata nārī-saṅgame smaryamāne
bhavati mukha-vikāraḥ suṣṭhu niṣṭhīvanaṁ ca
"Since I have been engaged in the transcendental loving service of Kṛṣṇa, realizing ever-new pleasure in Him, whenever I think of sex pleasure I spit at the thought, and my lips curl with distaste."
A person in brahma-yoga, or Kṛṣṇa consciousness, is so absorbed in the loving service of the Lord that he loses his taste for material sense pleasure altogether. The highest pleasure in terms of matter is sex pleasure. The whole world is moving under its spell, and a materialist cannot work at all without this motivation. But a person engaged in Kṛṣṇa consciousness can work with greater vigor without sex pleasure, which he avoids. That is the test in spiritual realization. Spiritual realization and sex pleasure go ill together. A Kṛṣṇa conscious person is not attracted to any kind of sense pleasure, due to his being a liberated soul.
Anyone who applies the above instructions in his life, will be living in a state of unlimted ecstasy every day.

My Dear Gopa,
Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
The internal energy is that energy that pervades the spiritual world and the energy under which all the Lord's devotee operate.
The external energy is the energy under which the material world and all the non-devotees operate.
The internal energy is the Lord's superior energy. And the external energy is the Lord's inferior energy.
I hope this meets you in the best of health.
Your ever well-wisher,
Sankarshan Das Adhikari
