With serene mind, free from fear, established in the vow of celibacy (brahmacarya), controlling the mind, with consciousness fixed on Me, the yogi should sit united to Me, making Me their supreme goal.

Practical instructions: praśāntātmā (serene mind), vigata-bhī (free from fear — fear disturbs concentration), brahmacāri-vrata (the vow of brahmacarya, control of vital energy including sexual).

Mac-cittaḥ (mindful of Me) and mat-paraḥ (making Me their supreme goal) reveal the devotional dimension. This is Dhyāna Yoga but oriented toward Krishna as the meditative object.
