SHREE KRISHNA SAYS in chapter 6


They call renunciation, O son of Pandu, know to be yoga, for truly one who has not renounced desire cannot become a yogi.

Thus always practicing that which leads to nirvana, one who is a yogi, whose mind is always controlled, abides in Me and attains peace.

A person is said to be elevated in yoga when,having renounced all material desires,he neither acts for sense gratification nor engages in fruitive activities.

For him who has conquered the mind,the mind is the best of friends;but for one who has failed 2 do so,his mind will remain the greatest enemy.

From wherever the mind wanders due to its flickering & unsteady nature,one must certainly withdraw it & bring it back under the control of the self.

He who is regulated in his habits of eating,sleeping,recreation & work can mitigate all material pains by practicing the yoga system.

One must deliver himself with the help of his mind & not degrade himself.The mind is the friend of the conditioned soul & his enemy as well.

A yogi is greater than the ascetic,greater than the empiricist & greater than the fruitive worker.Therefore,O Arjuna,in all circumstances,b a yogi.

As a lamp in a windless place doesn't waver,so the transcendentalist,whose mind is controlled,remains always steady in his meditation on the transcendent self.

For one who is a neophyte in the eightfold yoga system, work is said to be the means.

When one is not attached to sense objects or activities and has renounced all desire, such a person is said to have ascended to yoga.

For one who has conquered the self, the self is a friend. However for one whose mind is not conquered, the self is the greatest enemy.

One who sees Me everywhere and sees everything in Me, from such a one I do not disappear nor is that person ever lost from Me.

One who worships Me as abiding within all beings attains unity in every way. Such a person is a true yogi and always abides in Me.
