This severance from the affliction of misery is called Yoga. It should be practiced with determination and a mind free from despondency. Renouncing all desires born of thought and imagination, completely restraining the senses from all sides, one should slowly withdraw oneself from objects other than the self, with an intellect held in strong determination. Fixing the mind in the self, one should not think of anything at all. Wherever the restless and unsteady mind wanders, one should subdue it and bring it back under control of the self alone.
