तदा द्रष्टुः स्वरूपेऽवस्थानम् ॥ १.३॥

tadā draṣṭuḥ svarūpe’vasthānam .. 1.3..

3. At that time (After all waves have finished. This is nothing to take with concentration)the seer (Purusha) rests in his own (unmodified) state.

Commentary on Sri Patanjali Yogasutra by Swami Vivekananda

As soon as the waves have stopped, and the lake has become quiet, we see its bottom. So with the mind; when it is calm, we see what our own nature is; we do not mix ourselves but remain our own selves.
