Verse 6.23
Verse 6.23: “That, one should understand as the Yoga (lit. ‘joining’) technically so named, consisting as it does in disjunction from conjunction with grief. Such Yoga one should practise resolutely, and with a mind inaccessible to ennui. (372)
Commentary called Jnaneshwari by Jnaneshwar:
The mind which was entangled in bliss of the sense-life forgets all desires, once it tastes the (Self) bliss. That bliss is the crown of glory and the royal wealth of the contentment of the Yogins. The possession of this supreme knowledge consummates in (securing) this bliss. Such a bliss is directly realised by the study of the ‘Yoga Discipline,’ and if it is thus viewed, one can become himself one with it.
