yada viniyatam cittam
atmany evavatisthate
nisprhah sarvakamebhyo
yukta ity ucyate tada

“When the yogi, by practice of yoga, disciplines his mental activities to think only about atman,he is said to be well qualified to practice yoga and becomes desireless in worldly objects.”

Tada =then, yukta = person practicing yoga, ity ucyate = is qualified. When? is the question. It is something like taking a test on-line to see whether one is qualified or not. Sarva =all, kamebhya = from [all] desires, nispraha = desireless..Yada =when, cittam = mind or thoughts, atmanyeva = towards his atman, vineeyatam = fully involved, avatishtate = exists.

6-18..Ramanuja’s Commentary..The words atmany evavatisthate means exclusively established in the atma or soul. This means the atma has become the highest goal and only object of endeavour. When the mind has been so tutored and regimented to be fixed and riveted to the atma so that it never strays away; it is simultaneously and automatically weaned from all desires for sense gratification having not the slightest interest to enjoy the objects of the senses. Lord Krishna is stating that at this time an aspirant is considered to possess the necessary qualifications to begin practising mediation.

yatha dipo nivata-stho
nengate sopama smrta
yogino yata-cittasya
yunjato yogam atmanah

“As a lamp in a windless place does not waver, so the transcendentalist, whose mind is controlled, remains always steady in his meditation on the transcendent self.”

Just like a lamp glows steadily in still air surrounding, the yogi would be seen. Yatha = just like. Yatacittasya = controlled sense organs and mind, yunjata = involved in yoga, yogina = yogi‘s, atmana = state, sa upamasmrta = that is shown as example. Nivatastho = air-circulationless or still air, dipa = lamp, yatha = just like, nengate = motionless or steady.

6-19..Ramanuja’s Commentary..As a candle flame when sheltered from the wind will not flicker but burns bright and steady. The word smrta means evidenced and is cited by those who are experienced in the science of meditation and used as a simile to illustrate how meditation on the atma or soul becomes steady and effulgent to that yogi or one perfected in the science of the individual consciousness attaining communion with the ultimate consciousness who concentrates upon the atma after with drawing the mind from every other objects of attention. Lord Krishna is stating that the atma shines steady and radiant in the light of meditative spiritual intelligence by reason that all extraneous and miscellaneous distractions of the mind have been sequestered out exactly as a candle flame shines constant and bright when all wind has been sequestered out from around it.

..yatroparamate cittam
niruddham yoga-sevaya
yatra caivatmanatmanam
pasyann atmani tusyati
“Mind withdrawn from materials and involved on atman. Repeated practice of yoga, mind sees the atman and gets total enjoyment

Yatra = where, uparamate = involved,  cittam = mind or thoughts, niruddham = removed from all senses like smell, taste, etc. Yoga sevaya = by constant practice of yoga, atmana = by mind, atmanam= self or soul, pasyann = viewed, atmani tusyati = enjoys and is satisfied with atman

6-20..Ramanuja’s Commentary..Lord Krishna is revealing the superior meditation wherein as a result of dedicated effort one completely immerses their mind in the delight of spiritual transcendence, wherein as the mind perceiving the atma or soul receives the greatest satisfaction and contentment realising there is nothing else to be desired for, wherein the consciousness experiences that sublime and ineffable bliss beyond the scope of the senses to comprehend, wherein once established one never for a moment has the desire to relinquish the exquisite bliss experienced, wherein perfection of meditation is even once achieved one desires nothing else even in the times of not meditating, and wherein once established whether immersed in meditation or on the way to perfection one does not become shaken by adversity or disturbed by afflictions even as grave and devastating as the premature death of a beloved family member, One should learn this superior meditation which severs all connection with sorrow and misery. Knowing the intrinsic nature of meditation to be thus one should perform meditation with full trust and faith, free from all doubts with the mind happy and content…slokam 6-21….slokam6-21.mahizla maram..vennaatrangarai..vaikundam ellai viraja nathi.. vinn=vaikundam. neela meha perumaal sowndarya vimaanam vambulla sollai ..kanniha pushkaranni..thanchai.maa manni kovil.peyar.. moontru asurarkal..thancha pangan mudal asuran ..parasara shedram..davam erunthaar azlikkathodanginaar..nee kaakkanum ..asdrangallai vaithu mudithaar peyar evan peyar ..thanchanudaiya vuoor..thanjaavoor vaikaaasi visaaham. mahizlam poo avarin maalai..theerthavaari ..vamboolaam solai..thiruvonum vaikaasi 23 perumaal garuda sevai..sevikkanum..gaja muhan narasingam.veera singam perumaal..manni kuntra perumaal..moovarum ohmkaaram pola thirumandram thathvadryam ,muni drayam, manndaba drayam pola..sthitham moozlhi erunthaal nazluva maataan..ethu ontru thukkam kalakkatha suham-eruthiyana enbam-endariyathaal patruthal thaandi-erukkum..puthi arivaal thaan patralaam…vunnarnthu thaan therinthu kolla mudiyum..anubavithu anubavithu vallarkirom.. nazluveyvey maattaan.. eruthu enbam–pulankalukku ariya mudiyaatha enbam–siramapattu arinthaal suhamaay erukkum..thukkam kalakkatha enbam kittum..eyarkkaiyaha kidaipathaal per enbam kittum thirumbaathu..eyarkkai yogam atma enbam..seyarkkai pattru kuraiyum ethai therinthu malara vittaal..eni mattru ontru kaatti mayakidaley..membatta enbam ethu..ella suvaiyum vunndu..

sukham atyantikam yat tad
buddhi-grahyam atindriyam
