Yoga Sutras 2.45
Patanjali, explained by Swami Vivekananda
समाधिसिद्धिरीश्वरप्रणिधानात् ॥
samādhisiddhirīśvarapraṇidhānāt
By sacrificing all the Ishvara comes Samadhi.
In plain words: By giving everything over to God, called Ishvara, a person reaches samadhi, the deepest state of meditation.
Swami Vivekananda explains
By resignation to the Lord, Samadhi becomes perfect.
