Mokṣa-dharma Yoga-Upadeśa: Equanimity, Sense-Restraint, and Vision of the Ātman (आत्मदर्शन-योगोपदेशः)
योगमेकान्तशीलस्तु यथा विन्दति तच्छूणु । दृष्टपूर्वां दिश॑ चिन्त्य यस्मिन् संनिवसेत् पुरे
yogam ekāntaśīlas tu yathā vindati tac chṛṇu | dṛṣṭapūrvāṃ diśaṃ cintya yasmin saṃnivased pure ||
قال البراهمن: «اسمع كيف ينال اليوغا من لزم الخلوة. فإذا تفكّر في جهةٍ قد عُرفت وجُرّبت من قبل، فليتّخذ مقامه في مدينةٍ يستطيع أن يقيم فيها بثبات (للممارسة).»
ब्राह्मण उवाच
Yoga is to be attained through disciplined practice supported by solitude and deliberate choice of a suitable, familiar place to live—emphasizing stability, reflection, and intentional environment.
A Brāhmaṇa speaker begins instructing the listener on the practical method of attaining Yoga, advising reflection on an already known direction/region and settling in an appropriate town for sustained practice.
