The Yoga of Liberation by Renunciation

Krishna explains the result of transcending the gunas. 'Ahaṅkāraṁ balaṁ darpaṁ kāmaṁ krodhaṁ parigraham vimucya'—having released (vimucya) ego (ahaṅkāram), strength (balam), arrogance (darpam), desire (kāmam), anger (krodham), and possession (parigraham). 'Nirmamaḥ śānto brahma-bhūyāya kalpate'—free from mineness (nirmamaḥ), peaceful (śāntaḥ), one becomes fit (kalpate) for realization of Brahman (brahma-bhūyāya). This is the result: when you release ego, pride, desire, anger, and possession, and become free from the sense of ownership, you become peaceful and qualified for realization of Brahman. This is the culmination: through the practice described in the previous verses, you release these binding qualities and become fit for the ultimate goal.
