16. Panchadasi - Chapter 3 - Verses 13-15 | Swami Sarvapriyananda

166. Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 14, Verses 11 - 15 | Swami Sarvapriyananda

Only if the state is rajasic but not when one is truly in sattva, which brings clarity.
166. Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 14, Verses 11 - 15 | Swami Sarvapriyananda
Q: So, Shloka 11, where you said all the senses were illumined?
When the senses are illumined, it indicates that sattva is dominant, bringing alertness and sensitivity.
Isha Upanishad | Mantras 17 - 18 | Swami Sarvapriyananda

It signifies a devotion and spiritual readiness to transition into the divine realm, asking for guidance and purification after a life of worship and good deeds.
