He who is happy within, who rejoices within, and who is illuminated within, that Yogi attains absolute freedom or Moksha, himself becoming Brahman.

One whose happiness is within, whose delight is within and whose light is within, that yogin, having become Brahman, attains the peace of Brahman.

Krishna describes the yogin whose whole life is centred within. His happiness, his joy and his light all come from inside. Having become one with Brahman, brahmabhūta, he reaches brahmanirvāṇa, the peace or extinction in Brahman. The word nirvāṇa, the blowing out of a flame, suggests the stilling of restless desire. Traditions differ on whether this means complete merging in Brahman or a state of perfect peace in the presence of the divine, but all see it as the highest fulfilment of the inward turn.
