Srimad Bhagavat Gita commentary chapter 6 verse 10


Chapter 6 verse 10

“Let the yogi try constantly to keep the mind steady, remaining in solitude, alone with the mind and body controlled, free from hope and greed”

There are 2 key points to ponder over in this verse. The person who brings all their energy and attention to the present moment and thus eliminate the anticipation of the future or the thoughts from the past is free from expectation of a particular result in the future born out of desire and greed. They also are the ones who bring their body, mind and intellect under control and even if they are among other beings, practice the art of solitude in their actions and thoughts. In other words, be in a constant meditative state at all times. These 2 points would qualify a great yogi!
