Who receives the fruits of yoga practice and knowledge?


A beautiful conversation between Maha yogi Ashtavakra and King Janak from Ashtavakra Gita.
A man who is satisfied is a pure sense and he who is lonely receives the fruits of yoga practice and knowledge. The enlightened person full of wisdom never any regrets in this world because he realizes that the whole universe is complete by (his) self. Just as an elephant loves the leaves of the Sal tree (Shorea robusta), the Neem leaves (too much bitter in taste) do not delight in the same way, those who have love in the subject, do not make the matter happy. The person who does not wish to enjoy the bhog (fulfillment of desire) again, and does not desire of the not acquired bhog (fulfillment of desire), this kind of yogi is rare in the world. Simple human beings desire for enjoyment and desire for salvation but who does not desire for enjoyment and salvation such a man is rare in a rare world.  Dharma (religion), money or worldly matter and desire, salvation, life, death, etc does not bear any sense in the heart of such a pious liberal hearted person. For him, receiving and renunciation are the same. In which the world does not have the desire to merge and is not hostile to its present state, that is, satisfied, the blessed man lives happily in the livelihood as received. Whose wisdom is tinged with knowledge, that is, the person whose doubts have been erased, while listening and touching, while sniffing and touching, remains eternally grateful. Whose world has become dilapidated, it has neither craving nor devotion, its deeds and senses fail (self-controlled) and the inner vision becomes void, is not the subject to karma and senses.  Such a person does not wake up or sleep, even the eyelid does not open and close. That is, it becomes disgusted with the body, what an ultimate condition of the free mind person from the world! The freeman everywhere appears to have a pure intention. He is free from gross lust and remains adorned everywhere. Seeing, listening, eating, receiving, touching, smelling, walking, speaking, free from interest and harm, freeman is always free. A free man is above condemnation and praise, he does not even have joy and anger, he does not give, he does not take, he always remains monotonous. Even seeing a beautiful woman and death present, one whose mind remains motionless, which is calm, he is certainly free. Full of patience sees no difference between happiness and sorrow, male and female fortune and misfortune. He is always observant. There is neither violence nor compassion, no cruelty nor lowliness. He is free from wonder and disgust. His world wanes. The freeman does not have avarice or hatred. He is always detoxed and consumes the un-received regularly. The freeman is not aware of the alternative of solution, dissolution, interest, and harm. He is always free of mind and keeps the liberation even. He knows that there is really nothing, so worldly affection and ego reduced to zero. He destroys all hopes (free from hopes) and does not indulge in karma. Whose mind has been free, whose deeds, attachment, inertia, dreams have ended, what kind of condition does that free man get, for which words are not available?
