यदा सर्वे प्रमुच्यन्ते
कामा येऽस्य हृदि श्रिताः ।
अथ मर्त्योऽमृतोभव-
त्यत्र ब्रह्म समश्नुते॥ १4

ATRA BRAHMA SAMASHRUTE ||14
WHEN ALL THE DESIRES THAT ARE IN THE HEART ARE DESTROYED,THEN THE MORTAL
BECOMES IMMORTAL AND HE ATTAINS BRAHMAN EVEN HERE ||14
This Shloka is the easiest to understand as such . We have separation from the God or the BRAHMAN only because we fell we are separate or different from the BRAHMAN. .WE consider ourselves as our physical body or our mind and intellect and Ego etc. So we have desires for theses things - we want healthy immortal body and sound mind and intellect etc . These desires keep us AOART from the REAL ME or the Brahman. These desires so called in our heart and so the real SELF is not seen or perceived and we continue to have life after life trying to fulfill the desires of body etc. . When there is no desire the real nature of SELF is clear and then even with our physical body and Subtle body being present we perceive BRAHMAN.
Vivekananda used to say that in a lake we cannot see the bottom till the dirt has settled and the water is still. Once the dirt has settled down and the water is still WE CAN SEE OUR REFLECTION in that water . The same is true in our life . Once all the desires have disappeared we can see SELF.
As a side note this is the beauty of Hindu or VAIDIC religion. In many religion, we are told that we will meet GOD AFTER we die . So we will not see God as we are alive and the GOD is there - in HEAVEN. But in Hindu concept the the GOD - BRAHMAN -SELF is right in your hear and we just have desire to see it and we CAN see it even if our physical body is not dead.
