Commentary (टीका)
In this sloka, the focus is on the experience of the infinite bliss (*ātyantika sukha*) that can be grasped by the intellect refined through meditation. This bliss is beyond the realm of the senses (*atīndriya*) and can only be known through a purified mind and intellect. The commentary emphasizes that even as the senses cease to operate during deep meditation, the intellect remains active and perceives the bliss that transcends ordinary pleasure.
Swami Sivananda notes that this transcendent bliss is realized by the intellect when detached from sensory experiences. Swami Ramsukhdas further elaborates that this supreme happiness is distinct from the joys classified by *sattva*, *rajas*, or *tamas* (the three guṇas or modes of material nature) since it is innate, not derived from any material cause. It remains uninterrupted and secure when one is completely absorbed in the Self, indicating a state of immovable, constant reality (*tattva*), wherein the person does not waver from their supreme state.
The passage highlights the importance of spiritual practices like yama (self-restraint) and niyama (observance), leading to a pure intellect which alone can grasp the ultimate truth and maintain stability in that reality.
