Hindi Translation (हिन्दी अर्थ)
जिसका मन प्रशान्त है, रजोगुण शान्त हो गया है, जो निष्पाप (अकल्मष) और ब्रह्मभूत हो गया है — उस योगी को उत्तम सुख स्वयं आ मिलता है।
English Translation
Supreme happiness comes to the yogi whose mind is peaceful, whose passion is calmed, who has become one with Brahman, and who is free from sin.
Commentary (टीका)
Krishna describes the natural result of successful meditation: supreme happiness spontaneously approaches the yogi. Note the passive construction — happiness 'comes to' the yogi rather than being pursued. When the mind is at peace, passion is stilled, one has become Brahman, and all impurities are removed, the highest bliss is the natural consequence. This is the reward of persistent meditation practice.
