應當知曉,那與痛苦斷絕連結的狀態,即被稱為「瑜伽」。那「瑜伽」必須以堅定的決心和不沮喪的心來修習。
One should know that severance of contact with sorrow to be what is called Yoga. That Yoga has to be practised with perservance and with an undepressed heart.
在第二十、二十一和二十二節中,主描述了瑜伽的益處,即:安住於「自我」中的完美滿足、無限無盡的至福、免於悲傷和痛苦等。祂進一步補充說,這種瑜伽應當以堅定的信念、鋼鐵般的決心和不沮喪的心來修習。一個心識動搖的靈性求道者將無法在瑜伽中取得成功。當他在道路上遇到一些障礙時,他會放棄修習。修習者也必須勇敢、開朗和自力更生。
In verses 20? 21 and 22 the Lord describes the benefits of Yoga? viz.? perfect satisfaction by resting in the Self? infinite unending bliss? freedom from sorrow and pain? etc. He further adds that this Yoga should be practised with a firm conviction and iron determination and with nondepression of heart. A spiritual aspirant with a wavering mind will not able to attain success in Yoga. He will leave the practice when he meets with some obstacles on the path. The practitioner must also be bold? cheerful and selfreliant.
