Bhagavad Gita 6.10 <https://www.holy-bhagavad-gita.org/chapter/6/verse/10/> Those who seek the state of Yog should reside in seclusion, constantly engaged in meditation with a controlled mind and body, getting rid of desires and possessions for enjoyment. Bhagavad Gita 6.11 <https://www.holy-bhagavad-gita.org/chapter/6/verse/11/> To practice Yog, one should make an *āsan* (seat) in a sanctified place, by placing Kuśh grass, deer skin, and a cloth, one over the other. The *āsan* should be neither too high nor too low. Bhagavad Gita 6.12 - 6.13 <https://www.holy-bhagavad-gita.org/chapter/6/verse/12-13/> Seated firmly on it, the yogi should strive to purify the mind by focusing it in meditation with one pointed concentration, controlling all thoughts and activities. He must hold the body, neck, and head firmly in a straight line, and gaze at the tip of the nose, without allowing the eyes to wander. Bhagavad Gita 6.14 <https://www.holy-bhagavad-gita.org/chapter/6/verse/14/> Thus, with a serene, fearless, and unwavering mind, and staunch in the vow of celibacy, the vigilant yogi should meditate on Me, having Me alone as the supreme goal. Bhagavad Gita 6.15 <https://www.holy-bhagavad-gita.org/chapter/6/verse/15/> Thus, constantly keeping the mind absorbed in Me, the yogi of disciplined mind attains *nirvāṇ*, and abides in Me in supreme peace. Bhagavad Gita 6.16 <https://www.holy-bhagavad-gita.org/chapter/6/verse/16/> O Arjun, those who eat too much or too little, sleep too much or too little, cannot attain success in Yog. Bhagavad Gita 6.17 <https://www.holy-bhagavad-gita.org/chapter/6/verse/17/> But those who are temperate in eating and recreation, balanced in work, and regulated in sleep, can mitigate all sorrows by practicing Yog. Bhagavad Gita 6.18 <https://www.holy-bhagavad-gita.org/chapter/6/verse/18/>View Commentary » With thorough discipline, they learn to withdraw the mind from selfish cravings and rivet it on the unsurpassable good of the self. Such persons are said to be in Yog, and are free from all yearning of the senses. Bhagavad Gita 6.19 <https://www.holy-bhagavad-gita.org/chapter/6/verse/19/> Just as a lamp in a windless place does not flicker, so the disciplined mind of a yogi remains steady in meditation on the Supreme. Bhagavad Gita 6.20 <https://www.holy-bhagavad-gita.org/chapter/6/verse/20/> When the mind, restrained from material activities, becomes still by the practice of Yog, then the yogi is able to behold the soul through the purified mind, and he rejoices in the inner joy.
