CHAPTER 18 The Yog of Renunciation धृत्या यया रधारयते मन:प्राणेन्द्रियक्रिया:। योगेनाव्यभिचारिण्या धृति: सा पार्थ सात्त्विकी ॥33॥ [ ‘‘That resolute steadfastness, by which, O Parth, one governs through the practice of yog operations of the mind, the life-breaths, and the senses, is immaculate.’’ ] Yog is the process of meditation, whereas the coming into mind of any impulse other than the impulse to such contemplation is moral transgression. Straying of the mind is deviation from the path of virtue. The unwavering resolution with which a man rules over his mind, breath, and senses is, therefore, of the nature of goodness. Directing the mind, the vital breaths, and the senses towards the desired goal is the morally excellent fortitude.
