Bhagavad Gita Chapter 5 - Sanyasa Yoga - Sloka 25


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 25 
Mira with her Krishna
Labhante brahm nirvanam rushaya kshina kalmashah I
Chinna dvaidhah yat atmanah sarva bhuta hite rathah II sloka 25
लभन्ते ब्रह्म निर्वाणं ऋषयः  क्षीण कल्मषाः ।
चिन्न द्वैधाः यत् आत्मानः सर्व भूत हिते रताः  ।। श्लोक २५

With sins destroyed, doubts (dualities) removed, minds disciplined, being delighted in the welfare of all beings, the rishis attain the beatitude of the Brahman.

 Rishis are they who have realised the substratum of all the things. Perfect enlightenment is theirs because of complete detachment from the mundane. Though detached, they engage themselves in the welfare of all. Because of complete self control they commit no sin. The beatitude of the Brahman  is theirs as a matter of course.

Their excellence is further elucidated in the next sloka.
