Whosoever, right here, before abandoning the body, is capable of bearing the force sprung from desire and wrath—he is considered to be a man of Yoga and a happy man.
He who, before he leaves his body, learns to surmount the promptings of desire and anger is a saint and is happy.
He who is able, even here, before he is released from the body, to bear the impulse generated by desire and wrath, he is a Yogin (competent for self-realisation); he is the happy man.
One who can withstand here itself-before departing from the body-the impulse arising from desire and anger, that man is a yogi; he is happy.

The seers, whose doubts have decayed; by whom dualities have been cut off; whose minds are controlled; and who delight in the welfare of all; they attain the Brahman, the Transcendent One.
Sages whose sins have been washed away, whose sense of separateness has vanished, who have subdued themselves, and seek only the welfare of all, come to the Eternal Spirit.
The sages who are free from the pairs of opposites, whose minds are well subdued and who are devoted to the welfare of all beings, become cleansed of all impurities and attain the bliss of the Brahman.
The seers whose sins have been attenuated, who are freed from doubt, whose organs are under control, who are engaged in doing good to all beings, attain absorption in Brahman.
The sages obtain absolute freedom or Moksha–they whose sins have been destroyed, whose dualities (perception of dualities or experience of the pairs of opposites) are torn asunder, who are self-controlled, and intent on the welfare of all beings.
