योगस्वरूप-धारणा-समाधि-वर्णनम् (केशिध्वजोपदेशः)
अक्षीणेषु समस्तेषु विशेषज्ञानकर्मसु । विश्वमेतत्परं चान्यद्भेदभिन्नदृशां नृप ॥ २८ ॥
akṣīṇeṣu samasteṣu viśeṣajñānakarmasu | viśvametatparaṃ cānyadbhedabhinnadṛśāṃ nṛpa || 28 ||
O Hari, hangga’t hindi pa nauubos ang lahat ng natatanging kaalaman at mga gawa, at nananatili pa bilang mga hilig na naglilimita, sa mga taong hati ang paningin dahil sa pagkakaiba-iba, ang sanlibutan ay tila isang bagay at ang Kataas-taasan ay tila iba pa.

FAQs
It identifies the root of bondage as a split vision (bheda) created by lingering differentiating knowledge and action; liberation is implied when these tendencies are exhausted and the world is no longer seen as separate from the Supreme.
By pointing out that dualistic seeing makes God seem ‘other,’ it supports bhakti that matures into non-separative surrender—where devotion purifies karma and refines knowledge until the devotee perceives the Lord as the inner reality of the universe.
No specific Vedanga is taught directly; the practical takeaway is sādhanā-oriented—reduce differentiating mental constructs (viśeṣa-jñāna) and self-centered ritualistic doership (karma) through disciplined practice, leading toward mokṣa.
