CHAPTER 6 The Yog of Meditation शनै: शनैरूपरमेद्बुद्ध्या धृतिगृहीतया। आत्मसंस्थं मन: कृत्वा न किंचिदपि चिन्तयेत् ॥25॥ [ “His intellect should also rein in the mind firmly and make it contemplate nothing except God and, thus step by step, he should proceed towards the attainment of final liberation.’’ ] The final dissolution in God comes only gradually with the practice of yog. When the mind is fully under control, the Self is united with the Supreme Spirit. However, at the beginning, when the worshipper has just set out on the path, he has to concentrate his mind patiently on, and think of nothing else except, God. The way of this spiritual enterprise is that attainment comes only with constant application. But at the outset, the mind is restless and refuses to stay at one point. This is what Yogeshwar Krishn speaks of now.
