चित्तं ब्रह्मसुखस्पृष्टं नैवोत्तिष्ठेत कर्हिचित् ॥३५॥
kÄmÄdibhir anÄviddhaá¹
praÅ›ÄntÄkhila-vá¹›tti yat
cittaá¹ brahma-sukha-spṛṣá¹aá¹
naivottiá¹£á¹heta karhicit
kÄma-Ädibhiḥ - by various lusty desires; anÄviddham - unaffected; praÅ›Änta - calm and peaceful; akhila-vá¹›tti - in every respect, or in all activities; yat - that which; cittam - consciousness; brahma-sukha-spṛṣá¹am - being situated on the transcendental platform in eternal bliss; na - not; eva - indeed; uttiá¹£á¹heta - can come out; karhicit - at any time.
When one’s consciousness is uncontaminated by material lusty desires, it becomes calm and peaceful in all activities, for one is situated in eternal blissful life. Once situated on that platform, one does not return to materialistic activities.
Brahma-sukha-spṛṣá¹am is also described in Bhagavad-gÄ«tÄ (18.54):
brahma-bhÅ«taḥ prasannÄtmÄ
na Å›ocati na kÄá¹…ká¹£ati
samaḥ sarveṣu bhūteṣu
mad-bhaktiá¹ labhate parÄm
“One who is transcendentally situated at once realizes the Supreme Brahman and becomes fully joyful. He never laments or desires to have anything; he is equally disposed toward every living entity. In this situation, he begins transcendental activities, or devotional service to the Lord.†Generally, once elevated to the transcendental platform of brahma-sukha, transcendental bliss, one never comes down. But if one does not engage in devotional service, there is a chance of his returning to the material platform. Ä€ruhya ká¹›cchreṇa paraá¹ padaá¹ tataḥ patanty adho ’nÄdá¹›ta-yuá¹£mad-aá¹…ghrayaḥ: one may rise to the platform of brahma-sukha, transcendental bliss, but even from that platform one may fall down to the material platform if he does not engage himself in devotional service.
