Detailed Meaning
Lord Krishna explains the result of consistent yoga practice (Abhyasa). By disciplined regulation of the mind (Niyata-mānasaḥ) and focusing it upon the Divine (Mat-saṁsthām), the practitioner attains a state of peace that is not merely the absence of noise, but 'Nirvāṇa-paramām'—the supreme peace that leads to ultimate liberation from material bondage. The verse highlights that true transcendental meditation is not a void, but an intentional anchoring of the consciousness in God.
