| 33· The firmness
which is ever accompanied by Yoga, and by which the activities of thought of
lifebreaths and senseorgans, O Partha, are held fast, such a firmness is Sattvic.
Yoga: samadhi or concentration of mind. .geld fast: restrained from rushing
into ways which are opposed to the sastra. It is only when they are restrained
by firmness (of the intellect) that they do not rush into ways which are opposed
to the sastra. The meaning of the passage is this: He who, by unflinching firmness,
restrains the activities of thought (manas), of lifebreaths and senseorgans,
restrains them by Yoga Rajasic Firmness |
