TRANSLATION But when
the yogi engages himself with sincere endeavor in making further progress,
being washed of all contaminations, then ultimately, after many, many births
of practice, he attains the supreme goal.
PURPORT A person born
in a particularly righteous, aristocratic or sacred family becomes conscious
of his favorable condition for executing yoga practice. With determination,
therefore, he begins his unfinished task, and thus he completely cleanses
himself of all material contaminations. When he is finally free from all
contaminations, he attains the supreme perfection--Krsna consciousness.
Krsna consciousness is the perfect stage of being freed of all contaminations.
This is confirmed in the Bhagavad-gita:
yesam tv anta-gatam papam jananam punya-karmanam
