Mokṣa-dharma Yoga-Upadeśa: Equanimity, Sense-Restraint, and Vision of the Ātman (आत्मदर्शन-योगोपदेशः)
सम्यग्युक्तो यदा55त्मानमात्मन्येव प्रपश्यति । तदैव न स्पृहयते साक्षादपि शतक्रतो:
samyagyukto yadātmānam ātmany eva prapaśyati | tadaiva na spṛhayate sākṣād api śatakratoḥ ||
جب یوگی درست ریاضت کے ساتھ آتما کو آتما ہی میں دیکھ لیتا ہے، تو اسی لمحے وہ شتکرتو (اِندر) کے ظاہر و آشکار منصب کی بھی آرزو نہیں کرتا۔
