Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 67
एकचित्ततया योगो ब्रह्मज्ञानसमुद्भवः । नान्यथा भविता मे स ततश्चित्तनिरोधनम् । करोमि ब्रह्मसंसिद्ध्यै ततो मेऽसौ भविष्यति
ekacittatayā yogo brahmajñānasamudbhavaḥ | nānyathā bhavitā me sa tataścittanirodhanam | karomi brahmasaṃsiddhyai tato me'sau bhaviṣyati
Yoga phát sinh từ tri kiến về Phạm (Brahman) nhờ tâm nhất điểm; ngoài ra thì không thể đến với ta. Vì vậy ta tu tập sự chế ngự tâm để chứng đắc Phạm—rồi sự chứng ngộ ấy ắt sẽ thuộc về ta.
