Introduction
ya nisa sarva-bhutanam
tasyam jagarti samyami
yasyam jagrati bhutani
sa nisa pasyato muneh
Bg 2.69
What is night for all beings is
the time of awakening for the self-controlled; and the time of awakening for
all beings is night for the introspective sage.
Sense gratifier v/s Introspector
There are two classes of
intelligent men. One is intelligent in material activities for sense
gratification, and the other is introspective and awake to the cultivation of
self-realization. Activities of the introspective sage, or thoughtful man, are
night for persons materially absorbed. Materialistic persons remain asleep in
such a night due to their ignorance of self-realization. The introspective sage
remains alert in the "night" of the materialistic men. The sage feels
transcendental pleasure in the gradual advancement of spiritual culture, whereas
the man in materialistic activities, being asleep to self-realization, dreams
of varieties of sense pleasure, feeling sometimes happy and sometimes
distressed in his sleeping condition. The introspective man is always
indifferent to materialistic happiness and distress. He goes on with his
self-realization activities undisturbed by material reactions.
