Traducción

He who is able, while still here (in this world) to withstand, before the liberation from the body, the impulse born out of desire and anger he is a Yogi, he is a happy man.

Explicación

Krishna names a practical test of the yogin. Desire (kāma) and anger produce a vega, a surge or rush of force, that pushes one to act. The one who can bear it, can hold steady against this pressure while still living in the body, is yukta, truly disciplined, and sukhī, truly happy. The verse does not say such impulses will never arise, but that one can learn to withstand them. Happiness here is linked to inner strength, and the struggle is to be won in this life, not deferred.
