ಈ ರೀತಿಯಾಗಿ ಜ್ಞಾನೇಂದ್ರಿಯಗಳ ವಿಷಯದಲ್ಲಿ, ಆ-ಆ ಸುಖವನ್ನು ‘ಆತ್ಮಸ್ವರೂಪ’ವೆಂದು ಸಮ್ಯಕವಾಗಿ ಸಾಧಿಸಬೇಕು. ಯೋಗಿಯು ಪ್ರತಿದಿನ ಒಂದು ಯಾಮಮಾತ್ರ ಕಾಲ, ಪ್ರಯತ್ನದಿಂದ ಅತಂದ್ರಿತನಾಗಿ ಅಭ್ಯಾಸ ಮಾಡಬೇಕು.

Thus, with regard to the organs of knowledge, one should properly accomplish (cultivate) that-and-that happiness (as the Self). Every day, for the duration of a yāma, the yogin—striving and unwearied—(should practice).
