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.

Warding off external contacts; keeping the sense of sight between the two wandering ones; counterbalancing both the forward and backward moving forces that travel within what is crooked;
Excluding external objects, his gaze fixed between the eyebrows, the inward and outward breathings passing equally through his nostrils;
Shutting off outward contacts, fixing the gaze between the eye-brows, equalising inward and outward breaths moving in the nostrils;
Keeping the external objects outside, the eyes at the juncture of the eye-brows, and making equal the outgoing and incoming breaths that move through the nostrils, the contemplative who has control over his organs, mind and intellect should be fully intent on Liberation and free from desire, fear and anger. He who is ever is verily free.
Shutting out (all) external contacts and fixing the gaze between the eyebrows, equalising the outgoing and incoming breaths moving within the nostrils,

At all times, there is the transcendent Brahman for the ascetics who have severed their connection with desire and anger, who have controlled their minds and have realized their Self.
Saints who know their Selves, who control their minds, and feel neither desire nor anger, find Eternal Bliss everywhere.
To those who are free from desire and wrath, who are wont to exert themselves, whose thought is controlled, and who have conquered it - the beatitude of the Brahman is close at hand.
To the monks who have control over their internal organ, who are free from desire and anger, who have known the Self, there is absorption in Brahman either way.
Absolute freedom (or Brahmic bliss) exists on all sides for those self-controlled ascetics who are free from desire and anger, who have controlled their thoughts and who have realised the Self.
