6.18 यदा when? विनियतम् perfectly controlled? चित्तम् mind? आत्मनि in the Self? एव only? अवतिष्ठते rests? निःस्पृहः free from longing? सर्वकामेभ्यः from all (objects of) desires? युक्तः united? इति thus? उच्यते is said? तदा then.Commentary Perfectly controlled mind The mind with onepointedness.When all desires for the objects of pleasure seen or unseen die? the mind becomes very peaceful and rests steadily in the Supreme Self within. As the Yogi is perfectly harmonised? as he has attained to one
Non-dualism. The individual self and Brahman are one. The world is appearance (maya). Liberation through knowledge.
।।6.18।।अब यह बतलाते हैं कि ( साधक पुरुष ) कब युक्त ( समाधिस्थ ) हो जाता है वशमें किया हुआ चित्त यानी विशेषरूपसे एकाग्रताको प्राप्त हुआ चित्त जब बाह्य चिन्तनको छोड़कर केवल आत्मामें ही स्थित होता है अपने स्वरूपमें स्थिति लाभ करता है। तब उस समय सब भोगोंकी लालसासे रहित हुआ योगी अर्थात् दृष्ट और अदृष्ट समस्त भोगोंसे जिसकी तृष्णा नष्ट हो गयी है ऐसा योगी युक्त है समाधिस्थ ( परमात्मामें स्थितिवाला ) है ऐसे कहा जाता है।
