جو سب تعلقات سے کنارہ کش ہو کر دھیان یوگ میں دل کو لگاتے ہیں، اُن کے لیے علم کی صورت والا آتما ہر جگہ روشن ہوتا ہے۔ میں اسی پروردگار کی پناہ میں آیا ہوں۔

FAQs
It declares that when attachment is renounced and meditation becomes steady, the Jñāna-Self is directly evident everywhere; the verse models śaraṇāgati (taking refuge) in that ever-luminous Reality.
Bhakti here is expressed as surrender—turning away from worldly clinging and taking refuge in the supreme inner Principle; such devotion matures into contemplative absorption where the Divine is perceived in all places.
No specific Vedāṅga technique is taught; the practical takeaway is yogic discipline—cultivating vairāgya and dhyāna (a sādhanā aligned with Upaniṣadic jñāna) rather than ritual procedure or technical sciences.
