'Transcending the pairs of opposites' means enduring cold and heat and such other experiences of duality (such as pleasure & pain etc), until the practice of Karma Yoga has been actualised. 'Free from ill-will' means free from animosity towards other beings, recognising that one's own karma is the cause of all personal suffering [and thus there is no need to blame any one else]. ‘balanced in success and failure' means maintaining mental equanimity in success like victory in war, etc., and defeat — such a person 'is not bound' that is, does not become entangled in the cycle of births and deaths (Samsara), even though practising Karma Yoga only. |
