Poised in Yoga (steady-minded), and renouncing attachment for realm, relations etc., engage in acts such as war etc. Engage in it equally unconcerned whether success or failure may attend. This balanced attitude of the mind as regards successes or failures is called ‘yoga.’ It is calmness in the mind giving it steadiness, so as not to get disturbed whatever may happen, be it fulfillment or disappointment.
