The Yogi who is satisfied with the knowledge and wisdom of the Self, who has conquered the senses, and to whom a clod of earth, a piece of stone, and gold are all the same, is said to have attained Nirvikalpa Samadhi.

जो योगी ज्ञान और विज्ञान से तृप्त है, जो विकार रहित (कूटस्थ) और जितेन्द्रिय है, जिसको मिट्टी, पाषाण और कंचन समान है, वह (परमात्मा से) युक्त कहलाता है।।
