Translator:
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.

A Reading - Rantideb

Why: supreme happiness comes to the yogi whose mind is fully peaceful, free from sin, and whose passion is subdued, once again tying deep happiness to a genuinely quiet, settled mind rather than external accomplishment.

In life: some of the calmest, happiest people you know may not be the most externally accomplished, their peace comes from somewhere quieter than achievement.

Teaching: stop assuming your own happiness requires more external accomplishment, and invest some real effort instead in the internal peacefulness this verse is actually describing.

Deep Classical Commentary (Bhashya)

Author:
6.27 प्रशान्तमनसम् one of peaceful mind? हि verily? एनम् this? योगिनम् Yogi? सुखम् bliss? उत्तमम् supreme? उपैति comes? शान्तरजसम् one whose passion is ieted? ब्रह्मभूतम् one who has become Brahman? अकल्मषम् one who is free from sin.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).
