sixth yama called Dhriti, steadfastness. To be steadfast, you have to use your willpower. Willpower is developed easily in a person who has an adequate memory and good reasoning faculties. Courageous and fearless people who are just and honest prevail over all karmas. In the Sandilya Upanishad Dhriti has been described as preserving firmness of mind during the period of ups and downs, a ship that can endure and persevere on its course even when tossed about on the waves of a turbulent sea.
A person who is patient and truthful, who would not harm others by thought, word or deed and who is compassionate and honest has the strong nature of one who is firm in Dhriti, steadfastness. He is the prevailer over obstacles. One firm in Dhriti can be leaned upon by others, depended upon. He is charitable, has faith in God. Worships daily and manifests in his life a spiritual will and intellect.
