Discipline of Meditation and Mental Restraint
न हि ज्ञानेन सदृशं पवित्रमिह विद्यते । तत् स्वयं योगसंसिद्ध: कालेनात्मनि विन्दति
na hi jñānena sadṛśaṃ pavitram iha vidyate | tat svayaṃ yogasaṃsiddhaḥ kālenātmani vindati ||
ໃນໂລກນີ້ ບໍ່ມີສິ່ງໃດບໍລິສຸດເທົ່າກັບປັນຍາ. ປັນຍານັ້ນ ເມື່ອເວລາສົມຄວນ ຜູ້ທີ່ສຳເລັດຜົນໃນໂຍຄະ ຈະພົບເຫັນມັນໃນອັດຕາຂອງຕົນເອງ.

Educational Q&A
Knowledge (jñāna) is presented as the supreme purifier. When a person becomes mature through yoga—especially disciplined, selfless practice that refines the mind—this knowledge is not merely learned externally but is realized inwardly, in the Self, in due time.
In the midst of the battlefield instruction, the teaching turns to inner discipline: the speaker emphasizes that spiritual purity and clarity arise most powerfully from true knowledge, which dawns naturally within one who has steadily cultivated yogic maturity over time.
