27.praSaanthamanasam hyenam yoginam sukham utthamam

 

    upaithi Saantha rajasam brahmabhootham akalmasham

 

The greatest bliss comes to the yogi, whose mind is at peace, who has subdued the rajas, who is free from defects and who is established in Brahman.

 

praSaanthamanasam- refers to the one who has given up desires through discrimination, viveka and detachment, vairagya.

 

Saantharajasam- one who has given up all activities that increase rajas, that is, desire-motivated activities.

 

kalmasham-  defects born out of thamas like lethargy, delusion and evil tendencies which induce one  to commit sin. Akalmasham refers to one who has given up thamasik activities and tendencies.

 

Brahmabhootham- means the yogi who has dispelled rajas and thamas and established in sativa but not yet attained the final bliss of Brahman. It is gained only through persistent contemplation mentioned in the next sloka
