Bhagavad-gītā As it Is — Bhagavad-gītā Como Ele É EM PROCESSO << 8 - Attaining the Supreme >> << 8 - Alcançando o Supremo >> << VERSE 12 — VERSO 12 >> सर्वद्वाराणि संयम्य मनॊ हृदि निरुध्य च मूर्ध्न्य आधायात्मनः पराणम आस्थितॊ यॊगधारणाम sarva-dvārāṇi saṁyamya mano hṛdi nirudhya ca mūrdhny ādhāyātmanaḥ prāṇam āsthito yoga-dhāraṇām WORD BY WORD — PALAVRA POR PALAVRA sarva-dvārāṇi all the doors of the body saṁyamya controlling manaḥ the mind hṛdi in the heart nirudhya confining ca also mūrdhni on the head ādhāya fixing ātmanaḥ of the soul prāṇam the life air āsthitaḥ situated in yoga-dhāraṇām the yogic situation TRANSLATION — TRADUÇÃO The yogic situation is that of detachment from all sensual engagements. Closing all the doors of the senses and fixing the mind on the heart and the life air at the top of the head, one establishes himself in yoga. A yoga consiste no desapego de todas as ocupações sensuais. Para estabelecer-se em yoga a pessoa deve fechar todas as portas dos sentidos e fixar a mente no coração e o ar vital no topo da cabeça. PURPORT — SIGNIFICADO To practice yoga as suggested here, one first has to close the doors of all sense enjoyment. This practice is called pratyāhāra, or withdrawing the senses from the sense objects. The sense organs for acquiring knowledge – the eyes, ears, nose, tongue and touch – should be fully controlled and should not be allowed to engage in self-gratification. In this way the mind focuses on the Supersoul in the heart, and the life force is raised to the top of the head. In the Sixth Chapter this process is described in detail. But as mentioned before, this practice is not practical in this age. The best process is Kṛṣṇa consciousness. If one is always able to fix his mind on Kṛṣṇa in devotional service, it is very easy for him to remain in an undisturbed transcendental trance, or in samādhi. << Previous Verso — Verso anterior | Next Verse — Próximo >>
