The sages are seers who are devoted to the vision of the self. For them the pairs of opposites are annulled; i.e., they are freed from pairs of opposites like cold and heat; etc. ‘They have their minds well subdued,’ i.e., their minds are directed to the self. ‘They are devoted to the welfare of all beings,’ i.e., they are interested in the welfare of all beings like their own selves. Those persons who are like this have all their impurities, which are incompatible with the attainment of the self, annulled, and they attain to the bliss of the Brahman.

For those possessing the characteristics mentioned above, Shri Krishna now teaches that the Brahman is easy to attain.
