अनाश्रितः कर्मफलं कार्यं कर्म करोति यः ।
स संन्यासी च योगी च न निरग्निर्न चाक्रियः ॥ ६.३०.१ ॥
He who performs the action that is to be done, without depending on the fruit of action, is both a renunciant and a yogin; he is neither without sacred fire nor without action.
6.30.2
यं संन्यासमिति प्राहुर्योगं तं विद्धि पाण्डव ।
न ह्यसंन्यस्तसिंकल्पो योगी भवति कश्चन ॥ ६.३०.२ ॥

आरुरुक्षोर्मुनेर्योगं कर्म कारणमुच्यते ।
योगारूढस्य तस्यैव शमः कारणमुच्यते ॥ ६.३०.३ ॥
For the sage who desires to ascend to yoga, action is said to be the means; for the same man, once he has ascended to yoga, calm is said to be the means.

आत्मैव ह्यात्मनो बन्धुरात्मैव रिपुरात्मनः ॥ ६.३०.५ ॥
Let a man lift himself up by himself; let him not drag himself down. For the self alone is a man's friend, and the self alone is his enemy.
6.30.6

अनात्मनस्तु शत्रुत्वे वर्तेतात्मैव शत्रुवत् ॥ ६.३०.६ ॥
For him who has conquered himself by himself, the self is a friend; but for the one who has not conquered himself, the self behaves as an enemy would.
6.30.7
जितात्मनः प्रशान्तस्य परमात्मा समाहितः ।
शीतोष्णसुखदुःखेषु तथा मानापमानयोः ॥ ६.३०.७ ॥

युक्त इत्युच्यते योगी समलोष्ठाश्मकाञ्चनः ॥ ६.३०.८ ॥

सुहृन्मित्रार्युदासीनमध्यस्थद्वेष्यबन्धुषु ।
साधुष्वपि च पापेषु समबुद्धिर्विशिष्यते ॥ ६.३०.९ ॥

Having firmly set for himself a seat in a clean place, neither too high nor too low, with a cloth, a deerskin and kuśa grass spread upon it,

उपविश्यासने युञ्ज्याद्योगमात्मविशुद्धये ॥ ६.३०.१२ ॥

6.30.13
समं कायशिरोग्रीवं धारयन्नचलं स्थिरः ।
संप्रेक्ष्य नासिकाग्रं स्वं दिशश्चानवलोकथन् ॥ ६.३०.१३ ॥

With the self tranquil and free from fear, established in the vow of the celibate student, restraining the mind, with thought fixed on me, disciplined, intent on me, he should sit.
6.30.15
युञ्जन्नेवं सदात्मानं योगी नियतमानसः ।
शान्तिं निर्वाणपरमां मत्संस्थामधिगच्छति ॥ ६.३०.१५ ॥

निस्पृहः सर्वकामेभ्यो युक्त इत्युच्यते तदा ॥ ६.३०.१८ ॥

योगिनो यतचित्तस्य युञ्जतो योगमात्मनः ॥ ६.३०.१९ ॥

यस्मिन्स्थितो न दुःखेन गुरुणापि विचाल्यते ॥ ६.३०.२२ ॥
Having obtained which, he thinks no other gain greater than it, and established in which he is not shaken even by heavy sorrow.

आत्मसंस्थं मनः कृत्वा न किंचिदपि चिन्तयेत् ॥ ६.३०.२५ ॥
Gradually, with intellect held firm by steadiness, let him withdraw; having made the mind rest in the self, let him think of nothing at all.
6.30.26
यतो यतो निश्चरति मनश्चञ्चलमस्थिरम् ।
ततस्ततो नियम्यैतदात्मन्येव वशं नयेत् ॥ ६.३०.२६ ॥
Wherever the restless and unsteady mind wanders forth, from there, restraining it, let him bring it back under the control of the self alone.
6.30.27
प्रशान्तमनसं ह्येनं योगिनं मुखमुत्तमम् ।
उपैति श्चान्तरजसं ब्रह्मभूतमकल्मषम् ॥ ६.३०.२७ ॥

युञ्चयेवं सदात्मानं योगी विमतकल्मषःक ।
मुखेन ब्रह्मसंस्कपर्शमत्यन्तं सुखमश्रुते ॥ ६.३०.२८ ॥
Thus ever joining the self in yoga, the stainless yogin easily enjoys the utmost happiness of contact with Brahman.

सर्वभूतस्थमात्मानं सर्वभूतानि चात्मनि ।
ईक्षते कयोगयुक्तात्मा सर्वत्र समदर्शनः ॥ ६.३०.२९ ॥
He sees the self abiding in all beings and all beings in the self; the one whose self is joined to yoga sees equally everywhere.

तस्याहं न प्रणश्यामि स च मे न प्रणश्यति ॥ ६.३०.३० ॥

एतस्याहं न पश्यामि चञ्चलत्वात्स्थितिं स्थिरां ॥ ६.३०.३३ ॥
O Madhusūdana, I do not see the steady state of this yoga which You have taught through equanimity, because of its restlessness.

तस्याहं निग्रहं मन्ये वायोरिव सुदुष्करम् ॥ ६.३०.३४ ॥
O Kṛṣṇa, the mind is indeed restless, turbulent, powerful and firm; I think restraining it is as exceedingly difficult as restraining the wind.

असंशयं महाबाहो मनो दुर्निग्रहं चलम् ।
अभ्यासेन तु कौन्तेय वैराग्येण च गृह्यते ॥ ६.३०.३५ ॥

वश्यात्मना तु यतता शक्योऽऽवाप्तुमुपायतः ॥ ६.३०.३६ ॥

अप्राप्य योगसंसिद्धिं कां गतिं कृष्ण गच्छति ॥ ६.३०.३७ ॥

कच्चिन्नोभयविभ्रष्टश्छिन्नाभ्रमिव नश्यति ।
अप्रतिकष्ठो महाबाहो विमूढो ब्रह्मणः पथि ॥ ६.३०.३८ ॥

एतन्मे संशयं कृष्ण छेत्तुमर्हस्यशेषतः ।
त्वदन्यः संशयस्यास्य छेत्ता न ह्युपपद्यते ॥ ६.३०.३९ ॥
O Kṛṣṇa, it is fitting that you should cut away this doubt of mine entirely, for there is no other remover of this doubt than you.

न हि कल्याणकृत्कश्चिद्दुर्गतिं तात गच्छति ॥ ६.३०.४० ॥

एतद्धि दुर्लभतरं लोके जन्म यदीदृश्यम् ॥ ६.३०.४२ ॥
Or he is born into the very family of wise yogis; indeed, such a birth as this is far more rare in the world.
6.30.43
तत्र तं बुद्धिसंयोगं लभते पौर्वदेहिकम् ।
यतते च ततो भूयः संसिद्धौ कुरुनन्दन ॥ ६.३०.४३ ॥

6.30.44
पूर्वाभ्यासेन तेनैव ह्रियते ह्यवशेऽपि सः ।
जिज्ञासुरपि योगस्य शब्दब्रह्मातिवर्तते ॥ ६.३०.४४ ॥

अनेकन्मसंसिद्धस्ततो याति परां गतिम् ॥ ६.३०.४५ ॥
