Translation
The yogi should constantly practise concentration, remaining in solitude, alone, with mind and body controlled, free from desire and from possessions.
Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)
योगी को चाहिए कि वह एकांत स्थान में अकेला रहकर, मन और शरीर को वश में रखकर, आशा और संग्रह से रहित होकर निरंतर आत्मा को परमात्मा के ध्यान में लगाए।
Commentary
Here begins the Gita's practical instruction on meditation (verses 10–17). The first requirement is a quiet, undisturbed setting and a mind not busy with wanting or acquiring.
