Chapter 2 · Verse 61
Sankhya Yoga
सांख्ययोग
In plain words
You are called to master your senses and sit in deep, loving devotion to the Divine. By practicing bhakti, which is heartfelt devotion, you anchor your mind in the ultimate reality. When you control your senses and focus entirely on the supreme, you rise above worldly maya, the illusion of separation, and establish yourself in steady, unwavering wisdom.
Translation
2.61 Having controlled all the senses, let him remain in contemplation, regarding Me as supreme; for, his knowledge is firmly set whose senses are under control.
Meaning
He should control the senses and sit focussed on Me as the Supreme with a calm mind. The wisdom of the Yogi who thus seated has brought all his senses under subjugation is doubtless ite steady. He is established in the Self. Sri Sankaracharya explains Asita Matparah as He should sit contemplating I am no other than He. (Cf. II.64).
Word by word
तानि them सर्वाणि all संयम्य having restrained युक्तः joined आसीत should sit मत्परः intent on Me वशे under control हि indeed यस्य whose इन्द्रियाणि senses तस्य his प्रज्ञा wisdom प्रतिष्ठिता is settled.
