This verse is the mirror for self-examination! Examine yourself and see whether these qualities are present in you! Just mere deceitful words will not do. To think yourself to be in a good, higher state without reflection is not very good. Whether the mind and the senses are under one's control or not, if it is not so the inner spirit can never be pure. It is useless to imagine of abiding in yoga with an impure inner state. The attraction of the outgoing senses towards external objects and inclination of the mind to dwell on sensual objects, attachment for the world will lead to further accumulation of impression on the inner-self. The vices of impurities and agitations will keep on vitiating it. Then will ensue not yoga of action but indulgence in action! That is why, this state is required.

A purified inner state is natural state of abidance in yoga. Yoga is already existent in the inner state. The veil of impurities and disturbances appears to create a state of being separated from yoga. 'Sarvabhutatmabhutatma' this is a description of unearthly, indescribable, experienceable state of a person established in yoga. Self of one is Self of all, Self of all-Self of oneself! Feeling of oneness in form and existence! He is in all and all in Him! In this state the happiness of others will be one's own happiness; the sorrow of others will be the sorrow of oneself.

The egoism behind action or limitation of self-centred attitude makes action bondage. Action originating from attachment to the external objects, attraction for them and being under their control will bring the being into bondage. Absence of these and large-heartedness, pervasiveness and spiritual emotions of the actions will loosen the ties of destiny; where will the question arise for further bondage?

After describing the qualities of the man of action, his state, etc. once again the state of the yogi of Sankhya is taken up and the description of the state of this spiritual discipline is now given by the Blessed Lord.
