Text 35] —_ Instructions for Civilized Human Beings 235

If one can understand Krsna as the supreme enjoyer, the supreme
proprietor of everything, and the supreme friend of everyone, one is
established in peace and is free from material agitation. However, for one
who cannot understand the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the prac-
tice of yoga is recommended.

When one’s consciousness is uncontaminated by material lusty
desires, it becomes calm and peaceful in all activities, for one is

does not return to materialistic activities.

Brahma-sukha-sprstam is also described in Bhagavad-gita (18.54):

brahma-bhiitah prasannatma
na Socati na kanksati
samah sarvesu bhiitesu

mad-bhaktirn labhate param
