Verse 6.128.45

काम्यं कर्म निषिद्धं च न कर्तव्यं विशेषतः ।
यदा ब्रह्मगुणैर्जीवो युक्तस्त्यक्त्वा मनोगुणान् ॥ ४५ ॥

kāmyaṃ karma niṣiddhaṃ ca na kartavyaṃ viśeṣataḥ |
yadā brahmaguṇairjīvo yuktastyaktvā manoguṇān || 45 ||

When the living soul comes to feel the spiritual bliss in itself, and to find his sensuous appetites disappear from his mind; as also when he perceives his organs of sense lying quite calm and quiet under him; he may then consider himself as one with the all pervading spirit of the lord.
