Is there also any other means besides Karmayoga to attain that state of equanimity? Yes, meditation is another means. Now I tell you the process one ought to undergo. One having got rid of possessions for pleasures and also desires; having controlled his mind and body; living in seclusion should concentrate his mind on God.(10) What sort of setting should one have for the practice of meditation? One should firmly fix his scat, neither too high nor too low, in a clean place, with Kusa-grass, a deerskin and a cloth, one over the other.(11) What should one do after fixing the scat? Sitting on that seat, controlling the functions of the mind and the senses and concentrating the mind, one should practise meditation for self purification.(12) How should he sit on the scat? He should keep the trunk (body), head and neck straight and steady, remain firm and gaze at the tip of his nose without looking in other directions.(13) What should he the state of his mind then? Pledged to the vow of continence and fearlessness, keeping himself perfectly calm, subdued in mind free from the pairs of opposites such as attachment and aversion etc., the vigilant Yogi should think on Me and have Me as the supreme goal.(14) |
