Rudra Vaishnava Sampradaya - Commentary

Since it has been prescribed to be in control of  the  senses,  one  who  is
self-controlled should sit in a yoga position and meditate  on  the  Supreme
Lord. If it were to be asked how does one sit?  The  right  answer  is  that
with the senses under control the  mind  should  be  free  from  any  mental
activity.


Brahma Vaishnava Sampradaya - Commentary

In the previous verses Lord Krishna has  stated  that  the  senses  are  too
powerful to subdue by our own efforts. Yet effort should be made  repeatedly
regardless. Now here he suggests that we subdue our senses  by  devotion  to
Him. The word yuktah denotes devotion to Lord Krishna,  one  whose  mind  is
attuned to Him. Otherwise it is not possible to overcome the senses  in  any
way and maintain it. Mat-parah  means  one  devoted  to  Lord  Krishna.  The
benefits of one  surrendered,  attuned  and  devoted  to  the  Supreme  Lord
Krishna will be well documented later.


Shri Vaishnava Sampradaya - Commentary

Whosoever would wish to succeed in overcoming the dichotomous difficulty  by
the mutual inter-relating dependence of sense control and soul cognition  as
delineated previously, must certainly master the senses. Which due to  their
constant craving for pleasure are  extremely  troublesome  to  govern.  Lord
Krishna as the Supreme Lord is instructing to make Him the  sole  object  of
ones meditation and thus become established in undisturbed serenity  in  the
ultimate reality. When  our  minds  have  been  evolved  to  realising  Lord
Krishna as the supreme absolute reality all impurities  are  eradicated  and
the mind is purified and clear, free from all desires.  Now  at  this  stage
for the first time the mind is free from all desires. The  mind  along  with
the senses completely under control is then capable of  achieving  cognition
of the eternal soul. In  the  Vishnu  Purana  XI.VII.LXXIV  beginning  yatha
adniruddhata-sikhah it is written that as a blazing fire fanned  by  blowing
wind burns up dry wood; in the same way Lord Krishna enthroned in the  heart
burns up all sins of those who link their individual consciousness with  the
ultimate  consciousness  in  soul  cognition.  Spiritual   intelligence   is
confirmed in those whose senses are under control.  But  it  must  be  noted
that unless devotion has developed for the Supreme Lord  Krishna,  whosoever
attempts to master the senses by their own might and  self  effort  are  all
destined to failure.
