Uddhava Gita 8.14

8.14 Krishna to Uddhava

एतावान्योग आदिष्टो मच्छिष्यैः सनकादिभिः । सर्वतो मन आकृष्य मय्यद्धावेश्यते यथा ॥

etāvānyoga ādiṣṭo macchiṣyaiḥ sanakādibhiḥ | sarvato mana ākṛṣya mayyaddhāveśyate yathā ||

This much is the yoga taught by my disciples Sanaka and the others: drawing the mind back from everything and fixing it directly and fully in me.

मेरे शिष्य सनक आदि ने इतना ही योग बताया है: मन को सब ओर से खींचकर सीधे और पूरी तरह मुझमें लगा देना।

The essence of yoga is simple to state: gather the scattered mind and rest it in what is highest. The rest is detail.

योग का सार कहने में सरल है: बिखरे हुए मन को समेटकर सर्वोच्च में टिका देना। बाकी सब विस्तार है।

Krishna sums up the yoga taught by Sanaka and the other sages: drawing the mind back from everything and settling it fully in him.
