Swami Adidevananda (English)
A lamp does not flicker in a windless place”—that is the simile used for the tranquil mind of a yogi who practices yoga.
Swami Gambirananda (English)
As a lamp kept in a windless place does not flicker, so is the simile for the yogi whose mind is under control and who is engaged in concentration on the Self.

As a lamp placed in a windless spot does not flicker, so is the Yogi of a controlled mind, who practices Yoga in the Self, compared.
