Yoga-kṛtya (योककृत्य) — Vyāsa on Sense-Restraint, Obstacles, and Brahman-Realization
आत्मसिद्धिस्तु वेदेषु प्रोच्यते दशभि: क्रमै: । यदुक्तं वेदवादेषु गहनं वेददर्शिभि: । तदन्तेषु यथायुक्तं क्रमयोगेन लक्ष्यते
ātmasiddhis tu vedeṣu procyate daśabhiḥ kramaiḥ | yad uktaṃ vedavādeṣu gahanaṃ vedadarśibhiḥ | tad anteṣu yathāyuktaṃ kramayogena lakṣyate ||
Sinabi ni Vyāsa: Sa mga Veda, itinuturo ang pag-abot sa Sarili sa pamamagitan ng sampung sunud-sunod na yugto. Ang malalim na katotohanang ipinahayag ng mga rishi na nakakakita sa Veda sa mga pahayag ng Veda—at na inilalahad nang malinaw sa mga pangwakas na aral (Vedānta)—ay dapat matukoy sa pamamagitan ng disiplinadong pagsasanay ng yoga, hakbang-hakbang.
व्यास उवाच
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.
