Commentary (टीका)
The sloka emphasizes the qualities an aspirant must cultivate for spiritual progress: serenity (*praśāntātmā*), fearlessness (*vigatabhīḥ*), and adherence to celibacy (*brahmacārivrata sthitaḥ*). A serene mind is crucial for spiritual illumination, as desires and cravings disturb its tranquility. Fearlessness is a prerequisite for Self-realization since fear ties one to the ego and the transient world. The vow of brahmacharya and the associated discipline foster concentration and conserve vital energy for meditation. The aspirant should control the mind's fluctuations, focusing entirely on God (*maccittaḥ*), and regard Him as the ultimate goal (*matparaḥ*). The sloka thus guides the aspirant to enter a state of meditation with discipline, purpose, and divine focus, forming the groundwork for yoga and spiritual enlightenment.
