Chapter 6, v. 16-19
A balanced approach to eating, sleeping, working, and recreation supports a steady spiritual life. Through Kriya Yoga meditation and mindful self-discipline, the restless mind gradually becomes clear, focused, and receptive to the soul’s peace. These verses reveal how sadhana leads toward samadhi and the direct experience of innate wholeness. As awareness becomes established in pure consciousness, moderation, wise discernment, and inner freedom arise naturally.
