Chapter VI · Śloka 27
प्रशान्तमनसं ह्येनं योगिनं सुखमुत्तमम् ।
उपैति शान्तरजसं ब्रह्मभूतमकल्मषम् ॥

Supreme happiness comes to this yogi whose mind is perfectly tranquil, whose rajas is pacified, who is free from impurity, and who has become Brahman.
The culminating fruit of meditation is not a temporary state of calm but identity with Brahman — the ground of pure being. With passion subdued and impurity dissolved, bliss is not pursued but simply dawns.
