Adhyaya 41 — Yogic Conduct and the Discipline Leading to Siddhi
विशुद्धबुद्धिः समलोष्टकाञ्चनः समस्तभूतेṣu च तत्समाहितः ।
स्थानं परं शाश्वतमव्ययञ्च परं हि मत्वा न पुनः प्रजायते ॥
viśuddhabuddhiḥ samaloṣṭakāñcanaḥ samastabhūteṣu ca tatsamāhitaḥ / sthānaṁ paraṁ śāśvatam avyayañ ca paraṁ hi matvā na punaḥ prajāyate
शुद्ध बुद्धीने मातीचा ढेकूळ व सुवर्ण समान मानून, सर्व भूतांत त्या तत्त्वाकडे स्थिरचित्त राहून, परम धाम नित्य व अविनाशी आहे असे जाणून—तो पुन्हा जन्म घेत नाही.

‘Clod and gold equal’ signals dissolution of saṁskāras of acquisition; ‘That in all beings’ points to a unitive contemplation where multiplicity is read as the one Brahman.
