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 ||
Le brāhmane dit : « Écoute comment celui qui s’adonne à la solitude atteint le Yoga. Après avoir réfléchi à une direction déjà connue et éprouvée, qu’il s’établisse dans une cité où il pourra demeurer avec constance (pour la pratique). »
ब्राह्मण उवाच
Educational Q&A
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.
