Commentary:
Dhyana yoga leads to supreme peace and liberation. It is the peace of the Self, of the very nature of the Lord. It is not like the passing delights and pleasures of worldly life. The wise men seek the highest everlasting peace only. Self-control and continuous practice of meditation is necessary to attain such peace and bliss. So the seeker should carry on the sadhana, by constant discrimination by the rejection of the unreal, and by fixing the mind on the eternal Self. That is the price to pay for attaining the highest bliss of liberation.
