保持身體、頭部和頸部挺直不動，穩固地凝視自己的鼻尖，而不環顧四周。
Holding the body, head and neck erect and still, being steady, looking at the tip of his own nose-and not looking around;
在此詩節中，主（Lord）描述了冥想的姿勢（Asana）和凝視（Drishti）。若無穩固的坐墊，便無法修習冥想。身體若不穩定，心靈亦會動搖。身體與心靈之間有著密切的聯繫。你不應讓身體有絲毫晃動，應透過日常修習來掌握姿勢（Asana Jaya），穩固如雕像或岩石。若你保持身體、頭部和頸部挺直，脊髓亦會挺直，昆達里尼（Kundalini）將透過名為「中脈」（Sushumna）的微妙神經通道穩定上升。坐蓮花式或成就式，這將有助於維持神經平衡和心靈平靜。你應當穩定地將目光導向鼻尖，這被稱為「鼻尖凝視」（Nasikagra Drishti）。另一種凝視是「眉心凝視」（Bhrumadhya Drishti），即凝視兩眉之間，那裡是稱為「阿吉納脈輪」（Ajna Chakra）的靈性中心。
The Lord describes here the pose or Asana and the Drishti (gaze) in this verse.You cannot practise meditation without a firm seat. If the body is unsteady? the mind will also become unsteady. There is an intimate connection between the body and the mind.You should not shake the body even a bit. You should attain mastery over the Asana (AsanaJaya) by daily practice. You should be as firm as a statue or a rock. If you keep the body? head and neck erect? the spinal cord also will be erect and the Kundalini will rise up steadily through the subtle nervechannel (Nadi) called the Sushumna. Sit in the lotus pose or the adept pose. This will help you in maintaining the nervous eilibrium and mental poise. You should steadily direct your gaze towards the tip of your nose. This is known as the Nasikagra Drishti. The other gaze is the Bhrumadhya Drishti or gazing between the two eyrows where the psychic centre known as the Ajna Chakra is situated. This is described in chapter V? verse 27. In Bhrumadhya Drishti direct the gaze towards the Ajna Chakra with closed eyes. If you practise this with open eyes? it may produce headache. Foreign particles or dust may fall into the eyes. There may be distraction of the mind also. Do not strain the eyes. Practise gently. When you practise concentration at the tip of the nose you will experience DivyaGandha (various aromas). When you concentrate your gaze at the Ajna Chakra you will experience DivyaJyotis (perception of supraphenomenal lights). This is an experience to give you encouragement? push you up in the spiritual path and convince you of the existence of transcendental or supraphysical things. Do not stop your Sadhana. Yogins and those Bhaktas who meditate on Lord Siva concentrate on the Ajna Chakra with the Bhrumadhya Drishti. You can select whichever Drishti suits you best.Though the gaze is directed towards the tip of the nose when the eyes are halfclosed and the eyalls are steady the mind should be fixed only on the self. Therefore you will have to gaze? as it were? at the tip of the nose. In chapter VI? verse 25? the Lord says Having made the mind abide in the Self? let him not think of anything. Gazing at the tip of the nose will soon bring about concentration of the mind.Whichever be the point selected? visualise your own tutelary deity there and feel His Living Presence.
