How does he attain Brahma by Karmayoga?

The Karmayogi, who has subdued his senses and body. whose mind is purified and who has identified his self with the self of all beings, even while acting, remains untainted by actions viz., attains God.(6)

How does a Sankhyayogi remain untainted?

The Sankhyayogi by knowing the real and the unreal and being established in the real while seeing, hearing, touching, smelling, eating, going, sleeping, breathing, speaking, passing urine and stool, taking. opening and closing the eyes. believes that he does nothing; the senses are acting on sense-objects. By realizing this fact he remains untainted by actions.(7)

Besides these two Yogas, is there also any other method to remain untainted?

YEs, there is the discipline of devotion. The devotee, who, by abandoning attachment, offers all actions to God, remains untainted by sins and actions as a lotus leaf by water.(8-9)

A Bhaktiyogi performs actions in order to offer You. So he is not tainted, but O Lord, what is the aim of a Karmayogi while performing an action that he remains untainted?

The Karmayogi, abandoning attachment to senses, body. mind and intellect and also the fruit of action, performs action. for the purification of heart. Therefore a Karmayogi renouncing the desire for the fruit of action. attains the Supreme Peace. But the non-Yogi through desire, is bound being attached to the fruit of action.(10)
