Verse 6.20-21

Verse 6.20: “Wherein the mind, held under restraint by the practice of Yogic discipline, ceases functioning, and wherein, by his own self seeing the Self within his own self, he finds contentment:

Verse 6.21: “Wherein, that paramount bliss that there exists—beyond the reach of senses, and to be grasped by intellect alone—he realises; nor does he, once steadied, swerve from the Reality; (364)

Commentary called Jnaneshwari by Jnaneshwar:

Therefore, the practising of the ‘Yoga’ Discipline, on a firm seat as indicated, will (alone) secure an effective restraint over the senses, since the mind enters into the form of the Supreme Self, only when the senses get restrained through the practice of ‘Yoga’ Discipline. Then it returns from there and turns its back on it (the self) and looks at its own Self and identifies it to be just the same as the Supreme Self. With such identification, it enjoys permanent bliss, with the result, that the mind automatically becomes one with the Supreme Spirit of the Self. It becomes absorbed in that, beyond which there is nothing and which is beyond the reach of the senses and it abides in Self-bliss in its own Self.
