निर्मानमोहा जितसङ्गदोषा अध्यात्मनित्या विनिवृत्तकामाः।द्वन्द्वैर्विमुक्ताः सुखदुःखसंज्ञै र्गच्छन्त्यमूढाः पदमव्ययं तत्॥

Translation

Without pride and delusion, victorious over the vice of attachment, dwelling constantly in the Self, desire pacified, liberated from the pairs of opposites known as pleasure and pain, they tread, undeluded, that indestructible path.

What it means

Free of pride and delusion, conquerors of the fault of attachment, ever dwelling in the Self, desires stilled, liberated from the pairs called pleasure and pain, the undeluded reach that eternal goal. The travel requirements are all subtractions. What is left when the vices leave is already home.
