Translation
Thus the self-controlled yogī, constantly engaged in yoga practice, becomes free from all material contamination and achieves the highest stage of perfect happiness in transcendental loving service to the Lord.
Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)
28. Thus constantly engaging his mind, the yogī, free of all sin, easily attains the intense bliss of contact with Brahman as a jīvan-mukta.
Translation (Baladeva Vidyabhusana)
28. Thus constantly experiencing ātmā, the yogī, free of all sin, easily attains the unlimited bliss of experiencing paramātmā.
Purport
Self-realization means knowing one’s constitutional position in relationship to the Supreme. The individual soul is part and parcel of the Supreme, and his position is to render transcendental service to the Lord. This transcendental contact with the Supreme is called brahma-saṁsparśa.
Purport (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)
Then, he attains success. Attaining bliss means he becomes jīvan-mukta, liberated even in this life.
Purport (Baladeva Vidyabhusana)
After directly realizing his own ātmā, he then directly realizes the paramātmā.
Experiencing his own ātmā by the yoga method described above (ātmānam yuṣjan), with all faults burned up by this method (vigata kalmasaḥ), the yogī easily (sukhena) attains the unlimited happiness (sukham), the realization of paramātmā (brahma saṁsparśam).
Surrender Unto Me
'Brahma‑samsparsam' ‑ being in constant touch with the Supreme. 'Atyantam' ‑ the highest. 'Sukham' ‑ happiness.'Asnute'‑ he attains.
By practicing, free from mental, sensual engagement, other than in Krsna consciousness, in goodness, one easily contacts the Supersoul, depending upon one's desire and in this state he becomes a 'jivan‑mukta'.
