Prashantha manasam hi enam yoginam sukham uttamam I
Upaiti shantha rajasam brahma bhutam akalmasham II sloka 27
प्रशान्त मनसं हि एनं योगिनं सुखं उत्तमं ।
उपैति शान्त रजसं ब्रह्म भूतं अकल्मषं ।। श्लोक २७
Supreme bliss comes to that yogi whose mind is calm; whose passions are pacified, who has become one with Brahman and who is sinless.
It is the category of Rajas that creates passion, the source of all afflictions. When the impetus of Rajas cools down, calmness of mind comes in as a matter of course. He who is in Brahma avastha is actionless and as such there is no sin for him.

Similarly, before the Lord reveals himself in the heart of the devotee, He endows him with purity, devotion, faith and such divine qualities
