Verse 2.53
Verse 2.53: “When thy Discerning-power, confounded by (dissentious) Scriptures, endures, steadfast and unmoving, in an enrapt-concentration (samadhi) then wilt thou attain ‘Yoga.’” (283)
Commentary called Jnaneshwari by Jnaneshwar:
The confounded state of the mind’s power brought about by its association with the senses will afterwards be set right and your mind will look at the Supreme Self steadily and as a whole. When the discerning power gets perfectly peaceful and settled in an enrapt—concentration (samādhi) then only you will have attained the Yoga.
