Bhagavad Gita 7.28

येषां त्वन्तगतं पापं जनानां पुण्यकर्मणाम्।ते द्वन्द्वमोहनिर्मुक्ता भजन्ते मां दृढव्रताः॥

yeṣāṃ tvantagataṃ pāpaṃ janānāṃ puṇyakarmaṇām |te dvandvamohanirmuktā bhajante māṃ dṛḍhavratāḥ ||

But those men of virtuous deeds, whose sins have come to an end and who are freed from the delusion of the pairs of opposites, worship Me steadfastly, with their vows.

But those who act righteously, in whom sin has been destroyed, who are free from the infatuation of conflicting emotions, they worship Me with a firm resolve.
