Verse 12

The Yoga of Meditation

Having established his seat there, the yogi should practice yoga to purify the heart by controlling his mind, senses and activities and fixing the mind on one point.

Context & Meaning

Seated, the yogi should one-pointedly direct the mind inward — controlling the activities of both mind and senses — and practice yoga for the purification of the self. The goal is not mere concentration but inner cleansing.
