Adhyaya 39 — Yoga Discipline: Posture, Breath Control, Sense Withdrawal, and Signs of Attainment
नासतो दर्शनं योगे तस्मात्तत्परिवर्जयेत् ।
देशानेताननादृत्य मूढत्वाद्यो युनक्ति वै ॥
nāsato darśanaṃ yoge tasmāt tat parivarjayet / deśān etān anādṛtya mūḍhatvād yo yunakti vai
于瑜伽之道,不正之事不能生起真实的证见;故当远离。若有人因愚昧而轻忽这些处所仍强行修习——即为过失。
