Sanskrit to English Translation

Translator:
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).

A Reading - Rantideb

Why: thus always disciplining the self, the yogi freed from impurity, easily experiences the infinite happiness of contact with Brahman, again reinforcing that sustained, ordinary discipline, not a single dramatic breakthrough, is the actual mechanism.

In life: the daily, unglamorous repetition of a practice is what actually produces the deep change, not any single dramatic moment of insight.

Teaching: value your boring, repeated daily practice sessions as much as any rare breakthrough moment, the repetition itself is doing the real work.

Deep Classical Commentary (Bhashya)

Author:
6.28 युञ्जन् practising Yoga? एवम् thus? सदा always? आत्मानम् the self? योगी Yogi? विगतकल्मषः freed from sin? सुखेन easily? ब्रह्मसंस्पर्शम् caused by contact with Brahman? अत्यन्तम् infinite? सुखम् bliss? अश्नुते enjoys.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.
