Adhyaya 41 — Yogic Conduct and the Discipline Leading to Siddhi
सारभूतमुपासीत ज्ञानं यत्कार्यसाधकम् ।
ज्ञानानां बहुता येयं योगविघ्रकरा हि सा ॥
sārabhūtam upāsīta jñānaṃ yat kāryasādhakam | jñānānāṃ bahutā yeyaṃ yogavighrakarā hi sā ||
جو علم مقصد کو پورا کر دے، اسی جوہری علم کی مشق کرنی چاہیے؛ علوم کی یہ کثرت یوگ میں رکاوٹ ہے۔
