Chapter 6 verse 11-12
“Having established a firm seat of his own in a clean
spot, neither too high nor too low, made of a cloth, a skin and kusa-grass, one
over the other-there, having made the mind single pointed, with the actions of
the mind and the senses controlled, let him, seated on the seat, practice yoga
for the purification of the self”
In the earlier verse, Krishna talked about how to control
the mind and body and bring about thought control. In these 2 verses, Krishna
links the stillness of the mind to the stillness of the body. Correct posture
during meditation ensures building up of the correct levels of energy and keeps
the energy without it getting dissipated. Choosing a clean location, correct
elevation, correct seat and then taking the mind and intellect inward towards
contemplation of oneself in the Self is key to a good meditation.
