💡 Meaning

One who finds happiness within, who is delighted by self-knowledge, and whose vision has become pure in the Self, is a true yogi.

🔍 Deep Interpretation

In this verse, Saint Dnyaneshwar explains that a true yogi is one who finds happiness within themselves rather than seeking it in the external world. When a person attains self-knowledge (Atmabodha), their joy becomes independent of external circumstances. Their vision becomes 'Chokha' (pure), meaning they see the divine essence in everything. Such a person achieves the state of Brahman (the ultimate reality) because they have transcended the dualities of the material world.

🎯 Practical Application

In modern life, this teaches us to seek validation and happiness from our inner growth rather than social media likes or material possessions. For example, feeling satisfied with your honest effort in a project is 'Antari Sukha'.

📌 Context

Saint Dnyaneshwar describes the state of a person who has found eternal joy within the self, corresponding to Bhagavad Gita 5.24.
