ahaṅkāraṃ balaṃ darpaṃ kāmaṃ krodhaṃ parigraham |
vimucya nirmamaḥ śānto brahma-bhūyāya kalpate || 53 ||

53. Forsaking self-affirmative ideation, power play, arrogance, desire, anger and property, free
from the notion of possessiveness and tranquil — one becomes worthy of the state of Brahman.

Commentary

'Forsaking self-affirmative ideation (ahaṅkāra)’ means abandoning the concept that the body is the Self; diminishing the force of previous Vāsanas (mental impression and habitual patterns) which nourish self-affirmative ideation.
