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 ||

วยาสะกล่าวว่า—ในพระเวท การบรรลุอาตมันถูกสอนไว้เป็นสิบลำดับขั้นโดยต่อเนื่อง ความจริงอันลึกซึ้งที่ฤๅษีผู้เห็นพระเวทได้ประกาศไว้ในวาจาแห่งพระเวท และที่ถูกอธิบายอย่างแจ่มชัดในคำสอนส่วนท้ายคือเวทานตะนั้น พึงหยั่งรู้ได้ด้วยการปฏิบัติโยคะอย่างมีวินัยเป็นขั้นเป็นตอน

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.
