मन एकत्र संयुञ्ज्याज्जितश्वासो जितासनः । वैराग्याभ्यासयोगेन ध्रियमाणमतन्द्रितः ।। ११-९-११ ।।

Having perfected the yoga sitting postures and conquered the breathing process, one should make the mind steady by detachment and the regulated practice of yoga. Thus one should carefully fix the mind on the single goal of yoga practice. ।। 11-9-11 ।।

यस्मिन् मनो लब्धपदं यदेतच्छनैः शनैर्मुञ्चति कर्मरेणून् । सत्त्वेन वृद्धेन रजस्तमश्च विधूय निर्वाणमुपैत्यनिन्धनम् ।। ११-९-१२ ।।

sanskrit

The mind can be controlled when it is fixed on the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Having achieved a stable situation, the mind becomes free from polluted desires to execute material activities; thus as the mode of goodness increases in strength, one can completely give up the modes of passion and ignorance, and gradually one transcends even the material mode of goodness. When the mind is freed from the fuel of the modes of nature, the fire of material existence is extinguished. Then one achieves the transcendental platform of direct relationship with the object of his meditation, the Supreme Lord. ।। 11-9-12 ।।

तदैवमात्मन्यवरुद्धचित्तो न वेद किञ्चिद्बहिरन्तरं वा । यथेषुकारो नृपतिं व्रजन्तमिषौ गतात्मा न ददर्श पार्श्वे ।। ११-९-१३ ।।

sanskrit

Thus, when one’s consciousness is completely fixed on the Absolute Truth, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, one no longer sees duality, or internal and external reality. The example is given of the arrow maker who was so absorbed in making a straight arrow that he did not even see or notice the king himself, who was passing right next to him. ।। 11-9-13 ।।

A saintly person should remain alone and constantly travel without any fixed residence. Being alert, he should remain secluded and should act in such a way that he is not recognized or noticed by others. Moving without companions, he should not speak more than required. ।। 11-9-14 ।।
