Translations
Supreme Bliss indeed comes to this Yogi whose mind is made peaceful, whose passion is quelled, who has become Brahman, and who is free from sin.
Supreme bliss is the lot of the sage whose mind attains peace, whose passions subside, who is without sin, and who becomes one with the Absolute.
Supreme Bliss comes to this yogi alone whose mind has become perfectly tranquil, whose quality of rajas has been eliminated, who has become identified with Brahman, and is untainted.
जिसके सब पाप नष्ट हो गये हैं, जिसका रजोगुण तथा मन सर्वथा शान्त(निर्मल) हो गया है, ऐसे इस ब्रह्मस्वरूप योगीको निश्चित ही उत्तम (सात्त्विक) सुख प्राप्त होता है।Commentary
In this verse and in the next also the Lord describes the benefits of Yoga. Supreme (eternal, unalloyed and uninterrupted) bliss comes to the Yogi whose mind is perfectly serene, who has calmed his passionate nature, who has destroyed all sorts of attachments, who has attained knowledge of the Self and thus become a Jivanmukta or one who is liberated while living, who feels that all is Brahman only, and who is taintless, i.e., who is not affected by Dharma or Adharma (good or evil).
