prasantamanasath hyenam yoginam sukhamuttamam

Great sattvika happiness, truly comes to the Yogi, whose mind is calm, whose passions are subdued, and who is without sin. 27
Comment:-
Prasantamanasam hyenam yoginam sukhamnttamam, upaiti santarajasam brahmabhutamakalmasam:-'Akalmasam (sinless), is he, who is free from tamas disposition, such as obtuseness, inactivity, heedlessness and delusion (14/13).
'Santarajasam' (whose passions are subdued), is he, whose rajas propensities, of greed, activity, undertaking of actions with a selfish motive, restlessness and a thirst for enjoyment, are subdued.
'Prasantamanasam' (one of peaceful mind), is he, whose mind, becomes calm because he renounces all tamasika and rajasika passions, and is free from mundane pursuits and distractions. Here, the term 'Prasanta' means, that a Yogi, does not accept the mind as his own and so his mind, becomes free from attachment and aversion. Thus, his mind becomes calm, naturally.
'Evam' (this), has been used for the Yogi who attains tranquillity, as explained in the twenty-fifth verse. Such a Yogi, attains sattvika happiness.
In the second half of the twenty-third verse, the Lord offers an inspiration to practise the Yoga of meditation, with determination. He, who practises this Yoga, verily attains sattvika happiness. The term 'hi' used here denotes this certainty.
Snkhamupaiti:—It means, that a Yogi has not to make effort to attain that Supreme Bliss, but it verily comes to him.
