ALL THE ACTIVITIES OF THE SENSE-ORGANS (JNANA-INDRIYAS), AND THE ORGANS OF ACTION (PRANA-INDIRYAS) ARE OFFERED INTO THE KNOWLEDGE KINDLED-FIRE OF RIGHT UNDERSTANDING — Control of the ego by the better understanding of the Divine Reality is called here as the “Yoga-of-Self-restraint’ (ATMA-SAMYAMA-YOGA).

The “Path-of-Discrimination” (Vichara) lies through a constant attempt at distinguishing between the limited lot of the ego and the divine destinies of the Spirit. Having discriminated thus, to live more and more as the Self, and not as the ego, is to “RESTRAIN THE SELF BY THE SELF (Atma-Samyama).” By this process, it is evident how the mad ramblings of the organs of perceptions and actions can be completely restrained and entirely conquered.

The idea conveyed by the verse is that by stopping all activities, they concentrate the mind on the Self.] into the Self (atma) is self-control (atma-samyama); that itself is the fire of yoga (yoga-agni); (they offer) into that fire; jnana-dipite, which has been lighted by Knowledge, made to blaze up by discriminating knowledge, as if lighted up by oil.
