CHAPTER 6 The Yog of Meditation शुचौ देशे प्रतिष्ठाप्य स्थिरमासनमात्मन:। नात्युच्छ्रितं नातिनीचं चैलाजिनकुशोत्तरम्॥11॥ [ “At a clean spot he should devise a seat of kush-grass or deer-skin covered with a piece of cloth, which is neither too high nor too low.’’ ] Cleanliness of place is a question of sweeping and wiping it to keep it neat and tidy. In such a clean place, the worshipper should make for himself a seat of grass or deer-skin, on top of which there is spread a cover of fabric such as silk, or of wool. However, the seat may also be just a simple wooden board. But whatever it is, it should be firm, and neither too high nor too low. The intent behind all this is that something should be spread on the ground to cover it; it may be anything-skin, a mat, a piece of any kind of cloth, or even a wooden plank. It is important that the seat is not shaky. Again, it should be neither too high from the ground nor too low.
