Yoga-siddhi — The Mystic Perfections and Their Origin in Meditation on the Lord
नारायणे तुरीयाख्ये भगवच्छब्दशब्दिते । मनो मय्यादधद् योगी मद्धर्मा वशितामियात् ॥ १६ ॥
nārāyaṇe turīyākhye bhagavac-chabda-śabdite mano mayy ādadhad yogī mad-dharmā vaśitām iyāt
Le yogī qui place son mental en Ma forme de Nārāyaṇa, dite le quatrième état et pleine de toutes les opulences, reçoit Ma nature et obtient la perfection mystique nommée vaśitā.
In Bhagavad-gītā (7.13) Lord Kṛṣṇa states:
This verse teaches that when a yogī fixes the mind on Nārāyaṇa—the transcendent turīya, the Supreme Bhagavān—he attains inner mastery (vaśitā), meaning control and steadiness born of divine absorption.
In the Uddhava Gītā section on yoga perfections, Kṛṣṇa explains that real yogic control arises from absorption in the Supreme Lord, not merely from technique—thus He directs Uddhava toward God-centered meditation.
Daily, place the mind on the Lord through nāma-japa, prayer, and remembrance; as devotion deepens, self-control becomes natural—reducing distraction, impulsiveness, and anxiety.
