Educational Q&A

The verse teaches disciplined meditation: live simply and privately, restrain mind and senses, and practice non-possessiveness and freedom from expectation so the mind can remain steadily united with the Supreme.

Arjuna’s inquiry about how a self-controlled person can attain the Supreme quickly leads into the meditation-yoga instruction, describing the yogin’s ideal setting (seclusion, solitude) and inner qualities (restraint, detachment).
