The Means to Yoga :: Chapter 6 24 - 28
The desires that spring from purposes
   Abandoning, all without remainder;
With the thought-organ alone the throng of senses,
   Restraining altogether,

Little by little let him come to rest,
   Thru the consciousness, held with firmness;
Keeping the thought-organ fixed in the self,
   He should think on nothing at all.

Because of whatever thing strays,
   The thought-organ, fickle and unstable,
From every such thing holding it back,
   He shall bring it into control in the self alone.

 

 

 For to him when his thought-organ is tranquil,
   To the disciplined one, supreme bliss
 Approaches, his passion stilled,
   Become (one with) Brahman, stainless.

 Thus ever disciplining himself,
   The disciplined man, free from stain,
 Easily to contact with Brahman,
   To endless bliss, attains.
