manah-pranendriya-kriyah

yogenavyabhicarinya

dhrtih sa partha sattviki

 

WORD FOR WORD

 

dhrtya--determination; yaya--by which; dharayate--one sustains;

manah--of the mind; prana--life; indriya--and senses; kriyah--the

activities; yogena--by yoga practice; avyabhicarinya--without any

break; dhrtih--determination; sa--that; partha--O son of Prtha;

TRANSLATION

 

O son of Prtha, that determination which is unbreakable, which is

sustained with steadfastness by yoga practice, and which thus controls

the activities of the mind, life and senses is determination in the

mode of goodness.

 

PURPORT

 

Yoga is a means to understand the Supreme Soul. One who is steadily

fixed in the Supreme Soul with determination, concentrating one's

mind, life and sensory activities on the Supreme, engages in Krsna

consciousness. That sort of determination is in the mode of goodness.

The word avyabhicarinya is very significant, for it indicates that

persons who are engaged in Krsna consciousness are never deviated by

any other activity.
