Mokṣa-dharma Yoga-Upadeśa: Equanimity, Sense-Restraint, and Vision of the Ātman (आत्मदर्शन-योगोपदेशः)
अन्यान्याश्षैव तनवो यशथेष्टं प्रतिपद्यते । विनिवृत्य जरां मृत्युंन शोचति न हृष्पति
anyānyāś caiva tanavo yathā-iṣṭaṁ pratipadyate | vinivṛtya jarāṁ mṛtyuṁ na śocati na hṛṣyati ||
برہمن نے کہا—ایسا یوگی اپنی مرضی کے مطابق دوسرے دوسرے جسم اختیار کر سکتا ہے۔ بڑھاپے اور موت کو بھی پلٹا دیتا ہے؛ نہ وہ غم کرتا ہے نہ خوشی میں بہہ جاتا ہے۔

Educational Q&A
The core teaching is equanimity born of yogic realization: even extraordinary attainments (such as assuming forms at will) are secondary to the inner freedom that neither collapses into grief nor rises into elation.
A Brāhmaṇa speaker describes the capacities and inner state of a perfected yogin—able to take on bodies at will and to overcome the fear of aging and death—while emphasizing the hallmark of such perfection: freedom from emotional extremes.
