Translation and purport composed by disciples of Śrīla Prabhupāda
TRANSLATION
The actual yoga system as taught by My devotees, headed by Sanaka-kumāra, is simply this: Having withdrawn the mind from all other objects, one should directly and appropriately absorb it in Me.
PURPORT
The word yathā ("accordingly" or "properly") indicates that like Uddhava one should hear directly from Lord Kṛṣṇa or His bona fide representative and directly (addhā) fix the mind in Lord Kṛṣṇa.
