Adhyaya 41 — Yogic Conduct and the Discipline Leading to Siddhi
यथैवमवमन्यन्ते जनाः परिभवन्ति च । तथा युक्तश्चरेद्योगी सतां वर्त्म न दूषयन् ॥
yathaivam avamanyante janāḥ paribhavanti ca | tathā yuktaś cared yogī satāṃ vartma na dūṣayan ||
De même que les gens peuvent ainsi le mépriser et l’insulter, de même le yogin, demeurant dans la discipline, doit poursuivre sa conduite — sans souiller la voie des hommes de bien.

External disrespect is not a license for inner collapse or unethical reaction; the yogin preserves noble conduct even when society behaves ignobly.
Dharma teaching (sādhu-ācāra) within dialogue; not a pañcalakṣaṇa narrative element.
Not ‘defiling the path’ points to guarding saṃskāras: retaliatory reactions imprint the mind; restraint keeps the mind fit for samādhi.
