।।6.12।। वहाँ (आसन में बैठकर) मन को एकाग्र करके, चित्त और इन्द्रियों की क्रियाओं को वश में किये हुये आत्मशुद्धि के लिए योग का अभ्यास करे।।
6.12 तत्र there? एकाग्रम् onepointed? मनः the mind? कृत्वा having made? यतचित्तेन्द्रियक्रियः one who has controlled the actions of the mind and the senses? उपविश्य being seated? आसने on the seat? युञ्ज्यात् let him practise? योगम् Yoga? आत्मविशुद्धये for the purification of the self.Commentary The self means the mind. The real Supreme Self is the Atma. This is Primary (Mukhya). Mind also is the self. But this is used in a secondary sense (Gauna). Mukhya Atma is Brahman or the highest Self. Gaun
Non-dualism. The individual self and Brahman are one. The world is appearance (maya). Liberation through knowledge.
।।6.12।।( आसनको ) स्थिर स्थापन करके क्या करे ( सो कहते हैं ) उस आसनर बैठकर योगका साधन करे। कैसे करे मनको सब विषयोंसे हटाकर एकाग्र करके तथा यतचित्तेन्द्रियक्रिय यानी चित्त और इन्द्रियोंकी क्रियाओंको जीतनेवाला होकर योगका साधन करे। जिसने मन और इन्द्रियोंकी क्रियाओंका संयम कर लिया हो उसको यतचित्तेन्द्रियक्रिय कहते हैं। वह किसलिये योगका साधन करे सो कहते हैं आत्मशुद्धिके लिये अर्थात् अन्तःकरणकी शुद्धिके लिये करे।
