Uitleg

The sentence concludes with the practice at death. At the moment of departure, with a mind unmoving, joined in devotion (bhakti) and strengthened by yoga, one places the vital breath (prāṇa) fully between the eyebrows and so reaches the supreme divine Person. The verse combines devotion with yogic technique, assuming a tradition in which the breath and attention are directed upward at death. Different schools explain the method differently, but all see it as the culmination of a life of discipline.
