Srimad Bhagavatam — Ekadasha Skandha, Shloka 14
Guṇa-viveka, Haṁsa-gītā, and the Yoga that Cuts False Ego
एतावान् योग आदिष्टो मच्छिष्यै: सनकादिभि: । सर्वतो मन आकृष्य मय्यद्धावेश्यते यथा ॥ १४ ॥
etāvān yoga ādiṣṭo mac-chiṣyaiḥ sanakādibhiḥ sarvato mana ākṛṣya mayy addhāveśyate yathā
The actual yoga system as taught by My devotees, headed by Sanaka-kumāra, is simply this: Having withdrawn the mind from all other objects, one should directly and appropriately absorb it in Me.
The word yathā (“accordingly” or “properly”) indicates that like Uddhava one should hear directly from Lord Kṛṣṇa or His bona fide representative and directly ( addhā ) fix the mind in Lord Kṛṣṇa.
FAQs
It says yoga means withdrawing the mind from all directions—away from distracting objects—and fixing it directly and firmly on Krishna.
Krishna cites Sanaka and similar sages as His exemplary disciples who taught this essence of yoga: single-pointed absorption in the Supreme.
Regularly pull attention back from constant inputs (media, cravings, anxieties) and re-center it on Krishna through japa, prayer, and mindful remembrance during daily work.
