SHRIMAD BHAGVAD GITA-A JAIN PERSPECTIVE one should practice Yoga for self purification. 11, 12 Note: These verses show how one prefares to sit in
meditation. समं कायशिरोग्रीवं धारयन्नचलं स्थिरः सम्प्रेक्ष्य नासिकाग्रं स्वं दिशश्चानवलोकयन् ॥ १३ ॥ प्रशान्तात्मा विगतभीब्रहाचारिव्रते स्थितः ।। मन: संयम्य मच्चित्तो युक्त आसीत मत्परः ॥ १४ ॥
__ "Keeping himself steady, trunk, head and neck strait, motionless, fixing his eye on the tip of his nose without looking round about " “Keeping himself clam, fearless and firm in the vow of chastity and with restrained mind fixed on Me the Yogi should sit absorbed in Me.”- 13, 14 युञ्जन्नेवं सदाऽऽत्मानं योगी नियतमानसः । शान्तिं निर्वाणपरमां मत्संस्थामधिगच्छति ।। १५ ।।
"Thus constantly keeping his mind balanced the Yogi with his mind controlled attains speace and abiding in Me attains liberation” - 15
