O son of Prtha, that <font color="brown">determination </font color> which is unbreakable, which is sustained with steadfastness by yoga practice, and thus controls the mind, life, and the acts of the senses, is in the mode of <font color="orange"> goodness </font color> .

 

PURPORT

Yoga is a means to understand the Supreme Soul. One who is steadily fixed in the Supreme Soul with <font color="brown">determination </font color> , concentrating one's mind, life and sensual activities on the Supreme, engages in Krsna consciousness. That sort of <font color="brown"> determination </font color> is in the mode of goodness. The word avyabhicäriëya is very significant, for it refers to persons who are engaged in Krsna consciousness and are never deviated by any other activity.
