Chapter 4 · Verse 27
Jnana Yoga
ज्ञानयोग
In plain words
Just as a lamp is kindled by oil so also the fire of the Yoga of selfcontrol is kindled by knowledge. When the Yogi concentrates or fixes his mind on Brahman or the Self the senses and the breath cease to function. The senses and the breath are absorbed into their cause.
Translation
4.27 Some again offer as oblation the functions of the senses and the activity of the vital breaths into the fire of the Yoga of restraint of the mind kindled by knowledge.
Meaning
Just as a lamp is kindled by oil so also the fire of the Yoga of selfcontrol is kindled by knowledge. When the Yogi concentrates or fixes his mind on Brahman or the Self the senses and the breath cease to function. The senses and the breath are absorbed into their cause.
