The yogi should constantly strive to control and concentrate the mind, living in seclusion, free from desire and possessions. Having chosen a sacred location, they should sit in a firm posture on a seat that is neither too high nor too low, covered in a grass mat, deer skin, and cloth. Seated thus, with a single-pointed mind, having control of the emotions and senses, one should practice meditation for the purification of the self. Holding the body, head, and neck motionless and steady, fix one's attention on the tip of the nose, without looking in any other direction. With serenity and courage, firm in the vow of celibacy, having controlled the mind, have me as the ultimate goal. By always keeping the mind balanced, one attains peace and everlasting liberation.
