Summary of #ShreeBhagwatGita Adhyay 6- आत्मसंयमयोग
According to Krishna, karma yoga is also renunciation because it requires the person to sacrifice their "own selfish will." The self-consisting of the mind, senses, and body can aid the soul of a person.(1/7)

By practicing yoga, one can develop an ability to control their mind and senses. To practice yoga, one must master the practice of meditation.
Meditation brings calm and peace to the mind, which then dissolves to reveal the Self.(2/7)

Teaching Arjuna how to reach liberation through the path of yoga, realizing the Self and thus God, Krishna says, "He who is rooted in oneness, realizes that I (krishna)am present in every being."(3/7)

The mind is most difficult to control and one has to conquer it otherwise lust, anger, avarice, illusion etc would always deviate him. A conqueror of mind automatically follows the dictation of Supersoul(Paramatma).(4/7)

Arjun then points out the main difficulty in practicing yoga is controlling the mind. Arjun knowing the restless, unsteady, strong nature of his mind, expresses his inability to practice this system of yoga.(continue....)(5.1/7)

Krishna responds by saying that one can overcome the unstable mind through constant practice and determination. This practice culminates in samadhi, full consciousness of the Supreme.(5.2/7)

"प्रयत्नाद्यतमानस्तु योगी संशुद्धकिल्बिष:|
अनेकजन्मसंसिद्धस्ततो याति परां गतिम् ||"

"Krishna answers that one, regardless of being unsuccessful in his practice will still take birth in a family of spiritualists and will automatically become attracted yogic principles." (6/7)

Krishna concludes,
"योगिनामपि सर्वेषां मद्गतेनान्तरात्मना |
श्रद्धावान्भजते यो मां स मे युक्ततमो मत: ||"

"Of all yogis, those whose minds are always absorbed in me, and who engage in devotion to me with great faith, I consider them to be the highest of all." (7/7)
