6.27 Restlessness stilled Krishna speaks

प्रशान्तमनसं ह्येनं योगिनं सुखमुत्तमम्
उपैति शान्तरजसं ब्रह्मभूतमकल्मषम्

praśhānta-manasaṁ hyenaṁ yoginaṁ sukham uttamam
upaiti śhānta-rajasaṁ brahma-bhūtam akalmaṣham

The highest happiness comes to such a practitioner, whose mind is at peace, whose restlessness is stilled, who has become one with Brahman, whose faults are gone.

Explanation

And then the happiness, described as arriving.

To such a practitioner — mind at peace, restlessness stilled, faults gone, become one with Brahman — the highest happiness comes.

The verb is passive and it matters. After twenty-six verses of doing, what the doing produces is not seized; it shows up.
