The yogi whose mind is fixed on Me verily attains the highest

perfection of transcendental happiness. He is beyond the mode of

passion, he realizes his qualitative identity with the Supreme, and

thus he is freed from all reactions to past deeds.

 

PURPORT

 

Brahma-bhuta is the state of being free from material contamination

and situated in the transcendental service of the Lord. Mad-bhaktim

labhate param (Bg. 18.54). One cannot remain in the quality of

Brahman, the Absolute, until one's mind is fixed on the lotus feet of

the Lord. Sa vai manah krsna-padaravindayoh. To be always engaged in

the transcendental loving service of the Lord, or to remain in Krsna

consciousness, is to be factually liberated from the mode of passion

and all material contamination.
