Yada viniyatam cittam atmany evavatishthate, nihsprihah sarva-kamebhyo yukta ity ucyate tada
When the perfectly disciplined mind rests in the Self alone, free from longing for all objects of desire, then one is said to be in yoga. Yoga is this precise state: the mind fully at rest in the Self, with all external cravings having subsided.
- •The mind at rest in the Self alone is the definition of yoga
- •Freedom from all craving is inseparable from yogic absorption
- •This state of yoga is the natural result of sustained inner discipline
