Bhagavad Gita Chapter 5 - Sanyasa Yoga - Sloka 26

The entire content of this mail is from Swami Chidbhavananda's translation of The Bhagavad Gita, published by Ramakrishna Mission.

Bliss of Brahman Different from Sense Pleasure 20-29
1 Gita Sloka every day - Chapter 5 -Sanyasa Yoga - Sloka 26
 Kal Azhagar
Kama krodha viyuktanam yatinam yat chetasam I
Abhitah brahma nirvanam vartate vidit atmanam II sloka 26
काम क्रोध वियुक्तानाम यतीनाम यत चेतसाम I
अभितः ब्रह्मा निर्वाणं वर्तते विदित आत्मनाम II स्लोका २६
The beatitude of the Brahman is both here and hereafter for those sanyasins who have shed lust and anger, subdued theri minds and realised the self. 
Nyasa is sublimation; Sanyasa is total sublimation. This is the positive  meaning of this word. Negating the phenomenon is its negative meaning. In whichever way Sanyasa is practised, the attainment of Beatitude of the Brahman is the result. The sanyasin  is no longer conscious of the body than the the ordinary people are of their shadows. He is therefore liberated even while in the body. The here and hereafter becomes one endless brahmavastha in the sanyasin.
The process of vanquishing themind for this attainment is given in the next sloka
