आरुरुक्षोर्मुनेर्योगं कर्म कारणमुच्यते | योगारूढस्य तस्यैव शमः कारणमुच्यते
ārurukṣormuneryogaṃ karma kāraṇamucyate . yogārūḍhasya tasyaiva śamaḥ kāraṇamucyate
对于希望提升至（禅那）瑜伽的圣者（Muni）而言，行动被认为是其途径。而对于已臻（禅那）瑜伽之人，寂止（śama）则被认为是其途径。
For the sage who wishes to ascend to (Dhyana-) yoga, action is said to be the means. For that person, when he has ascended to (Dhyana-)yoga, inaction alone is said to be the means.
对于一个无法长时间练习冥想，且无法在冥想中保持心意稳定的人来说，行动是使自己稳固于瑜伽的途径。行动能净化他的心意，使心意适合练习稳定的冥想。行动导向稳定的专注和冥想。对于已稳固于瑜伽的圣者而言，寂止（śama）或放弃行动被认为是其途径。他越是完美地戒除行动，他的心意就越稳定，他也就越平静，他的心意就越容易、越彻底地固定在真我（Ātman）之中。对于婆罗门来说，没有什么财富能比得上对万物中真我（Ātman）的合一与同质性的认知、真诚、良好品格、坚定、无害、正直以及放弃一切行动。
For a man who cannot practise meditation for a long time and who is not able to keep his mind steady in meditation? action is a means to get himself enthroned in Yoga. Action purifies his mind and makes the mind fit for the practice of steady meditation. Action leads to steady concentration and meditation.For the sage who is enthroned in Yoga? Sama or renunciation of actions is said to be the means.The more perfectly he abstains from actions? the more steady his mind is? and the more peaceful,he is? the more easily and thoroughly does his mind get fixed in the Self. For a Brahmana there is no wealth like unto the knowledge of oneness and homogeneity (of the Self in all beings)? truthfulness? good character? steadiness? harmlessness? straightforwardness and renunciation of all actions. (Mahabharata? Santi Parva? 175.38)
