Verse 6·19

The steady mind is like a lamp in still air

Verse

यथा दीपो निवातस्थो नेङ्गते सोपमा स्मृता ।योगिनो यतचित्तस्य युञ्जतो योगमात्मनः ॥

yathā dīpo nivātastho neṅgate sopamā smṛtāyogino yatacittasya yuñjato yogamātmanaḥ

Motionless like the light of lamp in a windless place is the controlled consciousness (free from its restless action, shut in from its outward motion) of the Yogin who practices union with the Self.
