निर्मानमोहा जितसङ्गदोषा
अध्यात्मनित्या विनिवृत्तकामाः
द्वन्द्वैर्विमुक्ताः सुखदुःखसंज्ञै
र्गच्छन्त्यमूढाः पदमव्ययं तत्

adhyātmanityā vinivṛttakāmāḥ
dvandvairvimuktāḥ sukhaduḥkhasaṃjñai

TRANSLATION

Without the delusion of perverse notions (concerning the self), victorious over the evil of attachment, ever devoted to the self, turned away from desires and liberated from dualities called pleasure and pain, the undeluded go to that imperishable status.

PURPORT

Thus, when they have taken refuge in Me, become free from ‘perverse notions concerning the self, namely, become free from the delusion in the form of misconceiving the non-self (body) as the self; ‘victorious over the evil of attachment’, namely, victorious over the evil known as attachment to sense-objects consisting of the Gunas; ‘ever devoted to self’, namely completely absorbed in the knowledge of the self which is called Adhyatma or knowledge about the self; when they have ‘turned away from desires’ other than this self-knowledge; when they are liberated from ‘dualities called pleasure and pain’—such ‘undeluded souls’, namely, those who are able to discern the natures of self and non-self, attain to that ‘imperishable status’. They attain the self as It is, in the form of infinite knowledge. Consequently for those who seek refuge in Me, all actions become easy of performance till perfection is attained by My grace.
