Chapter 06: Yoga of Self Control

In this chapter, Lord Kṛṣṇa gives the method of Dhyāna Yoga (the yoga of meditation) as an aid to both Karma Yoga and Jñāna Yoga. In Dhyāna Yoga the mind, intellect, senses, and body are controlled in order to attain equanimity of mind. Without attaining equanimity of mind, one cannot achieve success in Jñāna Yoga or Karma Yoga. The body, senses, mind, and intellect are together denoted by the term Ātma (Self). This chapter gives techniques to control them. Therefore this chapter is entitled Ātma Saṁyama Yoga, or The Yoga of Self-Control.
