Shloka 10
अक्षरब्रह्मयोगः | Akṣara-Brahma-Yoga
The Yoga of the Imperishable Brahman
सम्बन्ध-- यहाँ यह जिज्ञासा होती है कि जितात्मा पुरुषको परमात्माकी प्राप्तिके लिये क्या करना चाहिये
yogī yuñjīta satatam ātmānaṁ rahasi sthitaḥ | ekākī yatacittātmā nirāśīr aparigrahaḥ ||
Dahil itinatanong ang praktikal na paraan upang madaling marating ang Kataas-taasang Sarili, sinisimulan ang aral ng dhyāna-yoga: Ang yogin ay dapat laging sanayin at iugnay ang sarili sa Banal, naninirahan sa isang lihim at tahimik na pook. Mag-isa, pigil ang isip at katawan, walang pagnanasa at walang pag-aangkin, dapat niyang itatag ang sarili nang matatag sa Diyos.

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).
