A Yukta

conquered the senses and is ever undisturbed, to whom a lump of earth,

A yogi

The deluded mind attaches false value to the objects of the world. The yogi will use a clod of earth to clean his hands, a stone to keep his papers from flying and a piece of gold to feed the hungry: but he has risen above the false sense of values. Each object's true value is its value in context. The man who cannot distinguish gold from mud is a mad man; one who sees the difference but is not affected by it, is a sage. He knows the true value of every object in God's nature, and fulfills God's will in every way.


- Swami Venkatesananda
