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 ||
Taglay ang katahimikan sa loob at walang takot, nakatatag sa panata at disiplina ng brahmacarya, ang mapagmatyag na nagsasanay ay dapat pigilin ang isip, ituon ang puso sa Akin, manatiling ganap na nakaugnay sa yoga, at manahan na Ako ang sukdulang layon.

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.
