व्यवसायात्मिका बुद्धिरेकेह कुरुनन्दन | बहुशाखा ह्यनन्ताश्च बुद्धयोऽव्यवसायिनाम्

噢，俱盧（Kuru）家族的喜悅，在此（瑜伽之道中）只有一種專一的信念。而那些猶豫不決者的思想，則有無數分支，確實是無窮無盡的。
O scion of the Kuru dynasty, in this there is a single, one-pointed conviction. The thoughts of the irresolute ones have many branches indeed, and are innumerable.
在這通往至福的道路上，只有一種堅定的思想，即專一的決心。這種專一的思想源於正確的知識。瑜伽（Yoga）的學生透過辨別、無欲和專注，將所有散亂的心念匯聚起來。他擺脫了心靈的動搖或猶豫。而那些沉溺於輪迴（Samsara）泥沼的世俗之人，則沒有專一的決心。他們心懷無數念頭，心靈總是搖擺不定。如果念頭止息，輪迴也隨之止息。心靈產生無盡的念頭，這個世界也因此而生。念頭、名相是不可分離的。如果念頭受到控制，心靈也就受到控制，瑜伽士便獲得解脫。
Here? in this path to Bliss there is only one thought of a resolute nature there is singleminded determination. This single thought arises from the right source of knowledge. The student of Yoga collects all the dissipated rays of the mind. He gathers all of them through discrimination? dispassion and concentration. He is free from wavering or vacillation of the mind.The worldlyminded man who is suck in the mire of Samsara has no singleminded determination. He entertains countless thoughts. His mind is always unsteady and vacillating.If thoughts cease? Samsara also ceases. Mind generates endless thoughts and this world comes into being. Thoughts? and names and forms are inseparable. If the thoughts are controlled? the mind is controlled and the Yogi is liberated.
