Verse 16

Simple enough to say
But rare is the one
To tend constantly
To the essence.
He transcends the ordinary
Dullness and meets
Powers extraordinary,
Resting in the company
Of the Wise ones.
The mind thus imprinted
He meets the essence in
All places and directions.

~~~~~

Though this is easy to understand, fixing the mind on the supreme essence is the most difficult thing. Those who do it constantly rise above the mundane and the ordinary dullness of living. In those higher realms, they pick up at will abilities and powers which to us are mysterious. Dwelling in the essence is the end of those powers, intellect and worldly duties. When such realized ones lead the householder’s life, they merge with the society in the company of the Wise ones, who show the way of realized living in an unrealized world. Thereupon, whatever they do, wherever they go and whomsoever they meet, for them it is meeting the supreme essence.
