yuñjann evaṁ sadātmānaṁ
   yogī vigata-kalmaṣaḥ |
sukhena brahma-saṁsparśam
   atyantaṁ sukham aśnute ||28||[↪](/trans/bg/06/28)
Thus ever-engaged with the self
the yogi eliminates impurities,
joyfully touching the absolute,
reaching the endless happiness.
Notes: The purification of impurities (_kalmaṣa_) through introspective reflection is a critical practice. Three root pollutions — attachment (_rāga_), aversion (_dveṣa_), and ignorance (_avidya_) — lead to a myriad of corrupted mental states and behaviors. Attachment becomes desire, greed, clinging, etc. Aversion becomes hatred, repulsion, resentment, etc. Ignorance becomes bewilderment, deception, cognitive bias, etc. In the sphere of the ego, these three corrupting roots become pride, envy, and self-absorption. Attachment is countered with detachment and generosity. Aversion is countered with acceptance and kindness. Ignorance is countered with insight and wisdom generated from the unveiling of truth and actuality.
