Translations
The yogi, always engaging the mind thus (in the practice of yoga), is freed from sins and easily enjoys the infinite bliss of contact with Brahman (the Eternal).
Thus, free from sin, abiding always in the Eternal, the saint enjoys, without effort, the bliss that flows from the realization of the Infinite.
By constantly concentrating his mind in this way, the taintless yogi easily attains the absolute bliss of contact with Brahman.
इस प्रकार अपने-आपको सदा परमात्मामें लगाता हुआ पापरहित योगी सुखपूर्वक ब्रह्मप्राप्तिरूप अत्यन्त सुखको प्राप्त हो जाता है।Commentary
By Yogic practices such as the withdrawal of the senses, concentration and meditation he loses contact with the objects of the senses and comes into contact with Brahman or the immortal Self within and thus enjoys the Infinite Bliss of Brahman. Sensual pleasures are transitory or fleeting but the bliss of Brahman is uninterrupted, undecaying and everlasting. That is the reason why one should attempt to realise the Self within. The Yogi removes the obstacles that stand in the way of obtaining union with the Lord and thus always keeps the mind steady in the Self.
