TRANSLATION
One whose
happiness is within, who is active within, who rejoices within and is illumined
within, is actually the perfect mystic. He is liberated in the Supreme,
and ultimately he attains the Supreme.
PURPORT
Unless one is
able to relish happiness from within, how can one retire from the external
engagements meant for deriving superficial happiness? A liberated person
enjoys happiness by factual experience. He can, therefore, sit silently
at any place and enjoy the activities of life from within. Such a liberated
person no longer desires external material happiness. This state is called
brahma-bhuta, attaining which one is assured of going back to Godhead,
back to home.
