praśānta manasaṃ hyenaṃ yoginaṃ sukham-uttamam |
upaiti śānta rajasaṃ brahma-bhūtam akalmaṣam || 27 ||
Translation
The yogī whose mind is fixed on Me verily attains the highest happiness. By virtue of his identity with Brahman, he is liberated; his mind is peaceful, his passions are quieted, and he is freed from sin.
Purport
In earlier many Shloka Bhagvan Shri Krishna explained, indeed achieving the perfection in [ashtanga] yoga is extremely difficult because the human mind and senses are very volatile. In most of people particularly adults, Rajasa Guna is very prevalent. It creates a lot of passion, desires, lust, and ego in human beings. And the focus of mind can be lost of even slight of passion, lust, desires or ego.
But that yogi who is devoted to Parmatma Bhagvan Shri Krishna is able to win overall above impurities and pacify mind completely. Devotion to Lord Krishna generates a lot of Satva Guna, which neutralizes Rajasa and Tamasa Guna. Once Rajasa and Tamasa Guna are neutralized, all senses, mind and inner senses come to rest. Once the mind settles down, achieving perfection in Yoga is easier. Once perfection achieved, yogi achieves supreme happiness as also described earlier.
