Verse 9·28

The yogi reaches eternal peace through offering

Verse

शुभाशुभफलैरेवं मोक्ष्यसे कर्मबन्धनैः ।संन्यासयोगयुक्तात्मा विमुक्तो मामुपैष्यसि ॥

śubhāśubhaphalairevaṃ mokṣyase karmabandhanaiḥsaṃnyāsayogayuktātmā vimukto māmupaiṣyasi

Thus shalt thou be liberated from good and evil results which constitute the bonds of action; with thy soul in union with the Divine through renunciation, thou shalt become free and attain to Me.

Gītā 9·28

For by an absolute self-giving all egoistic desire disappears from the heart and there is a perfect union between the Divine and the individual soul through an inner renunciation of its separate living. All will, all action, all result become that of the Godhead, work divinely through the purified and illumined nature and no longer belong to the limited personal ego. The finite nature thus surrendered becomes a free channel of the Infinite; the soul in its spiritual being, uplifted out of the ignorance and the limitation, returns to its oneness with the Eternal.
