6.45

प्रयत्नाद्यतमानस्तु योगी संशुद्धकिल्बिषः ।
अनेकजन्मसंसिद्धस्ततो याति परां गतिम्
॥६=४५॥
prayatnādyatamānastu yogī
saṃśuddhakilbiṣaḥ aneka-janmasaṃ-
siddhas tato yāti parāṃ gatim

And when the Yogī engages himself
with sincere endeavour in progressing
further, being cleansed of all
incompletions, then ultimately,
achieving perfection [saṁsiddhi] after
many births of practice, he attains the
highest state [parām-gati]

POWERFUL COGNITION

If we keep practicing, if we keep trying, we will be cleansed of all sins and reach the highest state.

6.46

तपस्विभ्योऽधिको योगी ज्ञानिभ्योऽपि मतोऽधिकः ।
कर्मिभ्यश्चाधिको योगी तस्माद्योगी भवार्जुन
॥ ६=४६॥

tapasvibhyodhiko yogī jñānibhyo'pi
mato ‘dhikaḥ karmibhyaścādhiko yogī
tasmādyogī bhavārjuna

A Yogī is greater than the ascetic
[tapasvi], greater than the wise [jñāni]
and greater than the fruitive worker.
Therefore, Arjuna, do become a Yogī

POWERFUL COGNITION

Start living from the heart.

6.47

योगिनामपि सर्वेषां मद्गतेनान्तरात्मना ।
श्रद्धावान्भजते यो मां स मे युक्ततमो मतः
॥ ६-४७॥

yogināmapi sarveṣāṃ
madgatenāntarātmanā śraddhāvān
bhajate yo māṃ sa me yuktatamo mata

Of all Yogīs, one who always lives in Me, thinking of Me within himself, who worships Me in full faith, he is the most intimately united with Me in Yoga and is the highest of all Yogīs; that is My opinion

POWERFUL COGNITION

Just look in, you will experience the eternal bliss, Nithyānanda.
