Yoga-kṛtya (योककृत्य) — Vyāsa on Sense-Restraint, Obstacles, and Brahman-Realization
आत्मसिद्धिस्तु वेदेषु प्रोच्यते दशभि: क्रमै: । यदुक्तं वेदवादेषु गहनं वेददर्शिभि: । तदन्तेषु यथायुक्तं क्रमयोगेन लक्ष्यते,आत्मा (के मोक्ष) की सिद्धि तो वेदोंमें दस- उपायोंद्वारा बतायी जाती है। जो गहन ([दुर्बोध) ब्रह्म वेदवाक्योंमें वेददर्शी विद्वानोंद्वारा वर्णित हुआ है और वेदान्तवचनोंमें जिसका स्पष्टरूपसे वर्णन किया गया है, वह क्रमयोगसे लक्षित होता है
ātmasiddhis tu vedeṣu procyate daśabhiḥ kramaiḥ | yad uktaṃ vedavādeṣu gahanaṃ vedadarśibhiḥ | tad anteṣu yathāyuktaṃ kramayogena lakṣyate ||
Vyāsa berkata: Dalam Weda, pencapaian Sang Diri diajarkan melalui sepuluh tahapan yang berurutan. Kebenaran yang mendalam—yang diungkapkan para resi penyingkap Weda dalam sabda-sabda Weda, dan yang dijelaskan dengan terang dalam ajaran penutupnya (Vedānta)—dapat dikenali melalui disiplin yoga yang ditempuh setahap demi setahap.

Educational Q&A
Self-realization (ātmasiddhi) is not presented as a sudden claim but as a graded attainment: the Vedas teach it through ten successive stages, and the subtle Vedic truth becomes clearly graspable when approached through disciplined, step-by-step yoga, in harmony with Vedānta.
Vyāsa is instructing about liberation-oriented knowledge: he links the deep, sometimes cryptic Vedic declarations with their clearer Vedānta conclusions, emphasizing that the intended meaning is to be recognized through a sequential yogic method rather than mere verbal study.
