Translator:
Having obtained it, he thinks there is no other gain superior to it; established in it, he is not moved even by heavy sorrow.

A Reading - Rantideb

Why: having obtained this, one does not consider any other gain superior to it, established in it, one is not shaken even by the greatest suffering, describing the specific stability this deeper state provides against hardship.

In life: people with some genuine internal anchor tend to weather real setbacks with more resilience than people whose stability depends entirely on external circumstances holding steady.

Teaching: identify whatever currently serves as your own internal anchor, and deliberately strengthen it before the next hard season arrives, rather than waiting until you're already in crisis.

6.22 यम् which? लब्ध्वा having obtained? च and? अपरम् other? लाभम् gain? मन्यते thinks? न not? अधिकम् greater? ततः than that? यस्मिन् in which? स्थितः established? न not? दुःखेन by sorrow? गुरुणा (by) heavy? अपि even? विचाल्यते is moved.Commentary Which the gain or the realisation of the Self or the immortal Soul.Wherein in the allblissful Self which is free from delusion and sorrow. The Self is allfull and selfcontained. All the desires are fulfilled when one attains Selfrealisation. That is the reason why the Lord says There is no other acisition superior to Selfrealisation. If one gets himself established in the Supreme Self within? he cannot be shaken every by heavy sorrow and pain? because he is mindless and he is identifying himself with the sorrowless and painless Brahman. One can experience pain and sorrow when he identifies himself with the body and the mind. If there is no mind there cannot be any pain. When one is under chloroform he feels no pian even when his hand is amputated? because the mind is withdrawn from the body.
