6.28 Thus, in the above - said manner, devoting himself to the Yoga of the self and by that means expelling all old impurities, the Yogin attains 'perfect', i.e., boundless felicity at all times easily, without stress and strain. The felicity is born of the contact with the Brahman (Atman), meaning the joy of experience of the Brahman.

6.28 युञ्जन् practising Yoga? एवम् thus? सदा always? आत्मानम् the self? योगी Yogi? विगतकल्मषः freed from sin? सुखेन easily? ब्रह्मसंस्पर्शम् caused by contact with Brahman? अत्यन्तम् infinite? सुखम् bliss? अश्नुते enjoys.Commentary By Yogic practices such as the withdrawal of the senses? concentration and meditation he loses contact with the objects of the senses and comes into contact with Brahman or the immortal Self within and thus enjoys the Infinite Bliss of Brahman.Sensual pleasures are transitory or fleeting but the bliss of Brahman is uninterrupted? undecaying and everlasting. That is the reason why one should attempt to realise the Self within.The Yogi removes the obstacles that stand in the way of obtaining union with the Lord and thus always keeps the mind steady in the Self.

6.26-28 Yatah etc. upto adhigacchati. From whatever objects the mind returns, immediately after its return, let him ieten it on the Self. Otherwise, being not firmly established [in the Self], the mind would again take hold of nothing but the sense-objects. But the Bliss, assuming the roll of an agent (or subject, kartv-bhuta) comes to the object (karmabhuta), viz., the man-of-Yoga, whose mind remains ite in the Self. By this way alone the men-of-Yoga attain the Brahman easily and not by [any] difficult Yoga etc. This is the idea [here].

।।6.28।। आत्मविकास एवं आत्मसंयम की साधना में प्रवृत्त हुआ योगी धीरेधीरे आत्मअज्ञान के अन्धकार और दोषों से बाहर ज्ञान के प्रकाश में आकर आनन्द का अनुभव करता है। जब साधक योगाभ्यास से मन को शान्त रखता है तब मानो ध्यान की उष्णता में मन का शुद्धीकरण होता है जैसे अग्नि की उष्णता में किसी लौहखण्ड का।जैसा पहले बताया जा चुका है मनुष्य अपने पुरुषार्थ से मन को विषयों से परावृत्त करके आत्मा में स्थिर कर सकता है। तत्पश्चात् मन एक गुब्बारे के समान विनष्ट हो जाता है जो आकाश में उँचा उड़ता हुआ विरलतर वातावरण में पहुँच कर फूट जाता है। उसके फूटने पर गुब्बारा तो नीचे गिर जाता है और गुब्बारे में स्थित आकाश बाह्य महाकाश के साथ एकाकार हो जाता है। इसी प्रकार ध्यान की चरम स्थिति में मन नष्ट होता है तब अहंकार गिर जाता है और वह मन परमात्मा के साथ एकीभाव को प्राप्त हो जाता है और तब उसे ब्रह्मसंस्पर्श के परम सुख की अनुभूति होती है।यहाँ भगवान् अधीर और जिज्ञासु साधक को सच्चित्स्वरूप तत्त्व का ज्ञान कराना चाहते हैं जिसका अनुभव अन्तकरण के तादात्म्य के परियोग से ही संभव है। यह दर्शाने के लिए कि आत्मानुभूति की स्थिति आनन्द की है भगवान् कहते हैं कि ब्रह्मसंस्पर्श से साधक अत्यन्त सुखी होता है। आत्मानुभव और ब्रह्मसंस्पर्श पर्यायवाची शब्द ही समझने चाहिये।अब अगले श्लोक में योग के फल एकत्वदर्शन का वर्णन किया गया है

।।6.28।। व्याख्या--'युञ्जन्नेवं सदात्मानं योगी विगतकल्मषः'--अपनी स्थितिके लिये जो (मनको बार-बार लगाना आदि) अभ्यास किया जाता है, वह अभ्यास यहाँ नहीं है। यहाँ तो अनभ्यास ही अभ्यास है अर्थात् अपने स्वरूपमें अपने-आपको दृढ़ रखना ही अभ्यास है। इस अभ्यासमें अभ्यासवृत्ति नहीं है। ऐसे अभ्याससे वह योगी अहंताममतारहित हो जाता है। अहंता और ममतासे रहित होना ही पापोंसे रहित होना है; क्योंकि संसारके साथ अहंता-ममतापूर्वक सम्बन्ध रखना ही पाप है।पंद्रहवें श्लोकमें 'युञ्जन्नेवम्' पद सगुणके ध्यानके लिये आया है और यहाँ 'युञ्जन्नेवम्' पद निर्गुणके ध्यानके लिये आया है। ऐसे ही पंद्रहवें श्लोकमें 'नियतमानसः' आया है और यहाँ 'विगतकल्मषः' आया है; क्योंकि वहाँ परमात्मामें मन लगानेकी मुख्यता है और यहाँ जडताका त्याग करनेकी मुख्यता है। वहाँ तो परमात्माका चिन्तन करते-करते मन सगुण परमात्मामें तल्लीन हो गया तो संसार स्वतः ही छूट गया और यहाँ अंहता-ममतारूप कल्मषसे अर्थात् संसारसे सर्वथा सम्बन्ध-विच्छेद करके अपने ध्येय परमात्मामें स्थित हो गया। इस प्रकार दोनोंका तात्पर्य एक ही हुआ अर्थात् वहाँ परमात्मामें लगनेसे संसार छूट गया और यहाँसंसारको छोड़कर परमात्मामें स्थित हो गया। 'सुखेन ब्रह्मसंस्पर्शमत्यन्तं सुखमश्नुते'--उसकी ब्रह्मके साथ जो अभिन्नता होती है, उसमें 'मैं'-पनका संस्कार भी नहीं रहता, सत्ता भी नहीं रहती। यही सुखपूर्वक ब्रह्मका संस्पर्श करना है। जिस सुखमें अनुभव करनेवाला और अनुभवमें आनेवाला--ये दोनों ही नहीं रहते, वह 'अत्यन्त सुख' है। इस सुखको योगी प्राप्त कर लेता है। यह 'अत्यन्त सुख', 'अक्षय सुख' (5। 21) और 'आत्यन्तिक सुख' (6। 21)--ये एक ही परमात्मतत्त्वरूप आनन्दके वाचक हैं। सम्बन्ध--अठारहवेंसे तेईसवें श्लोकतक स्वरूपका ध्यान करनेवाले जिस सांख्ययोगीका वर्णन हुआ है, उसके अनुभवका वर्णन आगेके श्लोकमें करते हैं।
