ദുഃഖവുമായുള്ള ബന്ധത്തിൽനിന്നുള്ള വിച്ഛേദനത്തെത്തന്നെ യോഗമെന്ന് അറിയണം. ഈ യോഗം ദൃഢനിശ്ചയത്തോടും നിരാശപ്പെടാത്ത മനസ്സോടും അഭ്യസിക്കണം.
In verses 20? 21 and 22 the Lord describes the benefits of Yoga, viz., perfect satisfaction by resting in the Self, infinite unending bliss, freedom from sorrow and pain, etc. He further adds that this Yoga should be practised with a firm conviction and iron determination and with nondepression of heart. A spiritual aspirant with a wavering mind will not able to attain success in Yoga. He will leave the practice when he meets with some obstacles on the path. The practitioner must also be bold, cheerful and selfreliant.
