Bhagavat Gita
Ch : VI Yoga of Meditation
(Atmasamyama Yoga) 

Krishna said:

47 Among all the Yogis he who
Merged in me by inner-soul.
And worship me with full faith
As the most devoted I treat him.

Thus Shrimad Bhagavad Gitopanishad’s
Supreme Doctrine of Yoga Science
As Shrikrishna - Arjuna dialogue
Athma Samyama Yoga named VI th Chapter.

Krishna concludes the dialogue on Athma Sanyasa yoga. The Yogi who merges in me with his inner self is the most devoted. He who devotes me and worships me with faith is an excellent Yogi. Thus the dialogue on meditation is concluded.

Let us take an oath to do meditation with great devotion to the Master and God. Hare Krishna 

Bhagavad Gita 220531

Bhagavat Gita
Ch : VI Yoga of Meditation
(Atmasamyama Yoga) 

Krishna said:

45 The hard strived with austerity
That Yogi purified from all sins
Perfected though many births
Finally reach the supreme goal.

46 Yogi is superior to an ascetic
Even superior to a scholar he is.
Yogi is superior to a man of action
Partha, hence thee too be a Yogi.

   Krishna says – the Yogi who works hard observing the Yama-Niyama will become pure. He will reach the supreme goal. Therefore a Yogi is superior to an ascetic. Yogi is superior to a scholar. Yogi is also above the achievers of actions. So Krishna advises Arjuna to become a Yogi.

   To achieve the supreme be selfless supreme, that is a Yogi. Oh Lord bless us to become Yogis. Hare Krishna 

Bhagavad Gita 220530

Bhagavat Gita
Ch : VI Yoga of Meditation
(Atmasamyama Yoga) 

Krishna said:

43 As much knowledge and Yoga
Acquired as in the former life
As much he will bear again and
Yet strive for more oh Kawntheya.

44 Only because of past practise
And only due to the quest to know
To yoga draws even the weak desired
And do cross even ‘Brahma - sound.’

Krishna says: the Yogi gathers as much knowledge as he acquired in the past life. He will still strive to gain more knowledge in the present life. It's a truth that due to their knowledge in the past life, they get past the "Brahma Sound" and get liberated. So you should practice yoga as much as possible. It is an asset for our forthcoming life.

Let us pray to God for blessing us with knowledge and divine services.

 Hare Krishna 

Bhagavad Gita 22052

Bhagavat Gita
Ch : VI Yoga of Meditation
(Atmasamyama Yoga) 

Krishna said:

41 Reaching the world of virtues
Dwelling there for long lives
The yoga lost in past takes birth
In some pure and wealthy home.

42 Or even he takes birth in
A wise Yogi’s house itself
See this type of birth is
Too scanty in this world.

     Krishna says that a man who lost his venture in Yoga, reach the world of virtues. Dwell there enjoying divine life for a very long time. Then take birth in some noble,pure and wealthy family. Sometimes he may take birth in a wise Yogi's house itself. However such birth is very rare. 

  Oh Lord bless us with divine birth. Let us serve thy creations and spread thy love and knowledge. Hare Krishna

Bhagavad Gita 220527

Bhagavat Gita
Ch : VI Yoga of Meditation
(Atmasamyama Yoga) 

Arjuna said:

39 This doubt of mine oh Krishna
Requires a compete solution.
Because such is my doubt
Only thee can dispel it well.

40 The Blessed Lord said :
Patha, neither in this world
Nor there in another world
He who strives to do good
Will ever perish oh my son.

Arjuna told Krishna that only Krishna can dispel his doubt. Arjuna's doubt was that if one practices Yoga, but can't accomplish his targets, what will happen to him ? Will he become an obsolete, unworthy life ?  Krishna assured Arjuna that one who strives to do good will never, ever perish. 

   Oh Lord bless us to do noble actions. Let there be peace and harmony to all. Hare Krishna

Bhagavad Gita 220526

Bhagavat Gita
Ch : VI Yoga of Meditation
(Atmasamyama Yoga) 

37 Arjuna said :
He tried faithfully, yet he failed
Since from Yoga mind tossed off
Thus if not achieved Yoga’s goal
What happens to him say Krishna !
38 Fallen from both will he stray
Unsupported like a mend cloud ?
Defaulted from Brahman’s path
Will he perish oh Mighty armed ?

Arjuna race his doubt about the Yoga practice - I practice Yoga faithfully and sincerely. If my mind rolled off and I did not achieve Yoga. Then what may happen to me oh Krishna? Having strayed away from the target of Brahma, what may be the future of my soul ? Will it be destroyed like a mend cloud ?

 Oh Lord give us strength and skill to achieve the best. Hare Krishna

Bhagavad Gita 220525

Bhagavat Gita
Ch : VI Yoga of Meditation
(Atmasamyama Yoga) 

Krishna said:

35 Undoubtedly oh Mighty armed
Untamed mind do roll non - stop
But by practice oh Kawntheya
It is restrained by dispassion.

36 The uncontrolled can hardly
Gain the Yoga I think so.
Possible means to gain it is
Self control and hard striving.

Krishna said to Partha that if our mind is not tamed, the mind will agitate in its own way. However, the mind can be tamed by practice through restraint and dispassion. To gain Yoga, self control and restraint called Yama - Niyamas are the key. 

 Let us take an oath to gain Yoga. Lord bless us to become Yogis. Hare Krishna
