Commentary (टीका)
In this sloka from the Bhagavad Gīta, the transformative power of *yoga* (योग) and its ability to still the mind (*citta* चित्त) is described. When the mind is completely withdrawn from sensory objects through consistent practice, an individual experiences deep tranquility. At this moment, the *yogi* (योगी) witnesses the Self (*ātmā* आत्मा) through itself and enjoys profound inner satisfaction. Swami Sivananda explains that the verses 20 to 23 describe how, through sustained concentration, a practitioner can access the ultimate peace within. Swami Ramsukhdas elaborates on different states during meditation like ‘*samādhi*’ (समाधि) where the triad of the perceiver, perception, and perceived converges into complete unity, leading to the quietude of the mind and ultimate self-contentment. The commentary mentions the transition from ‘*samprajñāta-samādhi*’ (संप्रज्ञात-समाधि) to ‘*asamprajñāta-samādhi*’ (असंप्रज्ञात-समाधि), denoting progressive stages of meditation, culminating in total restraint (*niruddha*) of mental modifications.
Swami Ramsukhdas highlights that both *karmayoga* (कर्मयोग) and *dhyāna-yoga* (ध्यान-योग) can lead to the realization of one’s true nature. The Sanskrit terms remind us of fundamental practices in yoga that lead the practitioner away from worldly engagements, guiding towards self-realization. In essence, the deeper one goes into meditation and self-awareness, the closer they come to experiencing the ineffable bliss of pure self-awareness beyond all dualities and distractions.
