TEXT 45
- प्रयत्नाद्यतमानस्तु योगी संशुद्धकिल्बिषः ।
- अनेकजन्मसंसिद्धस्ततो याति परां गतिम् ॥४५॥
- prayatnād yatamānas tu
- yogī saṁśuddha-kilbiṣaḥ
- aneka-janma-saṁsiddhas
- tato yāti parāṁ gatim
prayatnātby rigid practice — by rigid practice; yatamānaḥendeavoring — endeavoring; tuand — and; yogīsuch a transcendentalist — such a transcendentalist; saṁśuddhawashed off — washed off; kilbiṣaḥall of whose sins — all of whose sins; anekaafter many, many — after many, many; janmabirths — births; saṁsiddhaḥhaving achieved perfection — having achieved perfection; tataḥthereafter — thereafter; yātiattains — attains; parāmthe highest — the highest; gatimdestination — destination.
And when the yogī engages himself with sincere endeavor in making further progress, being washed of all contaminations, then ultimately, achieving perfection after many, many births of practice, he attains the supreme goal.
A person born in a particularly righteous, aristocratic or sacred family becomes conscious of his favorable condition for executing yoga practice. With determination, therefore, he begins his unfinished task, and thus he completely cleanses himself of all material contaminations. When he is finally free from all contaminations, he attains the supreme perfection—Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Kṛṣṇa consciousness is the perfect stage of being freed of all contaminations. This is confirmed in the Bhagavad-gītā (BG 7.28, Available in the library):
- yeṣāṁ tv anta-gataṁ pāpaṁ
- janānāṁ puṇya-karmaṇām
- te dvandva-moha-nirmuktā
- bhajante māṁ dṛḍha-vratāḥ
"After many, many births of executing pious activities, when one is completely freed from all contaminations, and from all illusory dualities, one becomes engaged in the transcendental loving service of the Lord."
