सुखमात्यन्तिकं यत्तद्बुद्धिग्राह्यमतीन्द्रियम् । वेत्ति यत्र न चैवायं स्थितश्चलति तत्त्वतः॥६-२८-२१॥

That ultimate happiness, apprehended by the intellect (buddhi) and transcending the senses—knowing it, one established there does not deviate from reality.

english translation

यं लब्ध्वा चापरं लाभं मन्यते नाधिकं ततः । यस्मिन्स्थितो न दुःखेन गुरुणापि विचाल्यते॥६-२८-२२॥

Having attained it, one deems no other gain greater than that; established in it, one is not shaken even by severe suffering.

english translation

तं विद्याद्दुःखसंयोगवियोगं योगसंज्ञितम् । स निश्चयेन योक्तव्यो योगोऽनिर्विण्णचेतसा॥६-२८-२३॥

Know that to be yoga, called the severance from the union with suffering; that yoga should be practiced with firm determination, by a mind not given to despondency.

english translation

संकल्पप्रभवान्कामांस्त्यक्त्वा सर्वानशेषतः । मनसैवेन्द्रियग्रामं विनियम्य समन्ततः॥६-२८-२४॥

Having utterly abandoned all desires born of mental constructions (saṅkalpa), one should, by the mind alone, restrain the entire host of the senses from every direction.

english translation

शनैः शनैरुपरमेद्बुद्ध्या धृतिगृहीतया । आत्मसंस्थं मनः कृत्वा न किंचिदपि चिन्तयेत्॥६-२८-२५॥

One should gradually come to rest, with the intellect held steady by resolve; having made the mind abide in the Self, one should think of nothing at all as an object of fixation.
