yadā viniyataṃ cittam-ātmany-evāvatiṣṭhate |
niḥspṛhaḥ sarva-kāmebhyo yukta ity-ucyate sadā || 18 ||

18. When the subdued mind rests in the Self alone, then, free from all craving for objects
of desire, one is said to be 'harmonised'.

Commentary

When the mind, which usually pursues sense gratification, abandons such desires and 'rests in the Self alone' — that is, becomes well-settled because of the realisation of the unsurpassable good in the Self alone, and rests there alone steadily, without movement — then, being 'free from all yearning’, one is said to be well-balanced.
