अक्षरब्रह्मयोगः | Akṣara-Brahma-Yoga
The Yoga of the Imperishable Brahman
प्रशान्तात्मा विगतभीर्रह्मचारित्रते स्थित: । मन: संयम्य मच्चित्तो युक्त आसीत मत्पर:
praśāntātmā vigatabhīr brahmacārivrate sthitaḥ | manaḥ saṁyamya maccitto yukta āsīta matparaḥ ||
Dengan jiwa yang tenteram, bebas daripada takut, dan teguh dalam ikrar serta disiplin brahmacarya, hendaklah pengamal yang berjaga-jaga mengekang minda, menambat hati pada-Ku, tetap terpadu dalam yoga, dan menjadikan Aku matlamat tertinggi.

Educational Q&A
Ethical discipline and mental restraint are prerequisites for yoga: be calm and fearless, live in brahmacarya-like self-restraint, control the mind, and keep consciousness fixed on Krishna as the highest goal.
In the Bhīṣma Parva’s Bhagavadgītā context, instruction is being given on the proper inner posture for meditation and yoga—how a practitioner should sit and abide: steady, self-controlled, and devoted to Krishna.
