idaṁ hi yogeśvara yoga-naipuṇaṁ
idaṁ hi yogeśvara yoga-naipuṇaṁ
hiraṇyagarbho bhagavāñ jagāda yat
yad anta-kāle tvayi nirguṇe mano
bhaktyā dadhītojjhita-duṣkalevaraḥ
O my Lord, master of all mystic yoga! Lord Brahmā has explained that expertise in yoga means that at the time of death, the mind, giving up bodily identification, becomes fixed with devotion in you who are beyond the guṇas.
This verse explains the secret of yoga practitioners. The fickle (yat –present particle of yā, to go) mind should be fixed on you. Ujjhita, a past participle has a present meaning.
|| 5.19.14 ||
yathaihikāmuṣmika-kāma-lampaṭaḥ
suteṣu dāreṣu dhaneṣu cintayan
śaṅketa vidvān kukalevarātyayād
yas tasya yatnaḥ śrama eva kevalam
The learned man who worries in this way has wasted his energy in this life. He is like a man attached to enjoyment in this world and the next who worries about his wealth, wife and children and fears the loss of his miserable body,
Otherwise, yoga practice is useless. Worried about his wealth, wife and children, a person becomes afraid of the loss of the material body. He thinks, “When I die, how will my sons survive?” Even if one is learned, if he worries like this, he has wasted his endeavors in life.
|| 5.19.15 ||
tan naḥ prabho tvaṁ kukalevarārpitāṁ
tvan-māyayāhaṁ-mamatām adhokṣaja
bhindyāma yenāśu vayaṁ sudurbhidāṁ
vidhehi yogaṁ tvayi naḥ svabhāvam iti
O Lord! May we give up the conception of me and mine concerning this miserable body, so difficult to give up. Please give us concentration on you, which is rati for you. O transcendental Lord!
You should make our minds give up other things and make our minds absorbed in you. What is yoga? It is our individual (sva) rati or bhāva for you. Or, it should be natural, just as attraction for material objects is natural for others.
