उस आसन पर बैठकर, चित्त और इंद्रियों की क्रियाओं को वश में रखते हुए, मन को एकाग्र करके अंतःकरण की शुद्धि के लिए योग का अभ्यास करे।
Commentary
Ekāgraṁ manaḥ — the one-pointed mind — is the heart of meditation. Its purpose is ātma-viśhuddhaye, purification of the inner self, not special powers or experiences.
