Commentary (टीका)
This sloka draws a beautiful comparison between a lamp's flame in a windless environment and a Yogi's mind in a state of deep meditation. The lamp's flame that does not flicker symbolizes the steadiness and one-pointedness of a Yogi's mind, highlighting the practice of yoga (योग) that enables control over one’s thoughts and emotions. It signifies the ability of the Yogi to maintain mental equilibrium and focus, reflecting the controlled illumination of self-awareness and enlightenment. The commentary explains that, unlike the inherent mountain firmness, the significance lies in the natural brilliance of light, representing the enlightenment of a Yogi’s consciousness, akin to a steady lamp in a breeze-less space.
