Guest guest Posted September 26, 2002 Report Share Posted September 26, 2002 Chapter 6 Verse 18 Yadaa viniyata.n chittam aatmany ev'aavatishhthate / nihsprihah sarva-kaamebhyo yukta ity uchyate tadaa // When the well-controlled mind is established in the Self only, without longing for the objects of desires, then is one called steadfast in Yoga. LESSONS FROM BHAGAVAD GITA – 58 As taught by Parama Pujya Sri Swamiji "When the well-controlled mind is established in the Self only, without longing for the objects of desires, then is one called steadfast in Yoga.” The mind of an ordinary man is restless because it always runs after the worldly objects. The mind is easily attracted by the objects of the world. It has also a tendency to go out from one object to another without any break. As a result of this fickleness of mind, man loses much of his energy. He also gets caught up in lot of problems. Therefore he has to withdraw his mind from all the worldly objects and focus it on his own Self. When the mind is thus firmly established in the Self, he will experience unprecedented joy and will be steadfast in Yoga. In other words, when a man has no more cravings for objects of desires he will be able to fix his mind in the Self. When the mind is thus anchored in the Self, he is said to be established in Yoga or steadfast in Yoga. New DSL Internet Access from SBC & http://sbc.
