yogī yuñjīta satatam ātmānaṃ rahasi sthitaḥ |
ekākī yatacittātmā nirāśīr aparigrahaḥ || 10 ||

10. The Yogi should constantly apply the mind to Yoga, remaining alone in a solitary place,
controlling discursive thinking, free from desire and the sense of possession,

Commentary

The Yogi who is steady in the practice of Karma Yoga should 'constantly', i.e., daily, when doing the practice, engage the mind in the contemplation on the true nature of the ātman. One should restrain the habit of constantly thinking about things. One should not depend on anything except the ātman and should abandon the idea of possession with regard to anything other than the ātman.
