Saptamopadeśaḥ (Samādhi) · Verse 17
भक्त्या लीनं मनः कृत्वा योगी योगपरायणः | समाधिं लभते योगी ब्रह्मण्येव प्रजायते ||
bhaktyā līnaṃ manaḥ kṛtvā yogī yogaparāyaṇaḥ | samādhiṃ labhate yogī brahmaṇy eva prajāyate ||
Result of Bhakti yoga: samādhi and orientation toward Brahman. Extreme love dissolves into the beloved.
This is the path of devotees, of those who love with total intensity. They seek neither states nor powers; they seek only the divine.
For them, the separation between devotee and divine is the only illness, and its cure is absorption in love.
