4.20.8
ya evaṃ santam ātmānam ātma-sthaṃ veda pūruṣaḥ /
nājyate prakṛti-stho 'pi tad-guṇaiḥ sa mayi sthitaḥ //
8. He who thus knows Atman abiding in his own self is not touched (affected) by the gunas of Prakriti, though he abides in it; and he really abides in Me.
VERSE 8. To translate the first half. He who is firmly contemplating Me as the Pratyag-Atman and as Antaryamin possessed of all the attributes already indicated is not assailed by the gunas of Prakriti though He may abide in Prakriti.
D. He who knows and contemplates the Lord Atman present as Antaryamin in himself attains the calmness of mind and remains unaffected by the qualities of the body like hunger and thirst.
