Bhagavad Gita 5.19

इहैव तैर्जितः सर्गो येषां साम्ये स्थितं मनः।निर्दोषं हि समं ब्रह्म तस्माद्ब्रह्मणि ते स्थिताः॥

ihaiva tairjitaḥ sargo yeṣāṃ sāmye sthitaṃ manaḥ |nirdoṣaṃ hi samaṃ brahma tasmādbrahmaṇi te sthitāḥ ||

Even here in this world, those whose minds rest in reality overcome birth; Brahman is indeed spotless and real; therefore they are established in Brahman.

Translation by Swami Sivananda · Public domain in India (translator d. 1963)

Even in this world, those whose minds remain always balanced, fixed on the Supreme, conquer their earthly life; for the Supreme has neither blemish nor bias.

Translation by Shri Purohit Swami · Public domain in India (translator d. 1941)

Our plain-language meaning of this verse is waiting for scholar review.
