Verse 6·10

The yogi in solitude perfects the Self

Verse

योगी युञ्जीत सततम् आत्मानं रहसि स्थितः ।एकाकी यतचित्तात्मा निराशीरपरिग्रहः ॥

yogī yuñjīta satatam ātmānaṃ rahasi sthitaḥekākī yatacittātmā nirāśīraparigrahaḥ

Let the Yogin practise continually union with the Self (so that that may become his normal consciousness) sitting apart and alone, with all desire and idea of possession banished from his mind, self-controlled in his whole being and consciousness.

Gītā 6·10

…the Gita proceeds to give us in addition to its general method of knowledge and works a special process of Rajayogic meditation also, a powerful method of practice, abhyāsa a strong way to the complete control of the mind and all its workings.
