।।6.36।। असंयत मन के पुरुष द्वारा योग प्राप्त होना कठिन है, परन्तु स्वाधीन मन वाले प्रयत्नशील पुरुष द्वारा उपाय से योग प्राप्त होना संभव है, यह मेरा मत है।।
6.36 असंयतात्मना by a man of uncontrolled self? योगः Yoga? दुष्प्रापः hard to attain? इति thus? मे My? मतिः opinion? वश्यात्मना by the selfcontrolled one? तु but? यतता by the striving one? शक्यः possible? अवाप्तुम् to obtain? उपायतः by (proper) means.Commentary Uncontrolled self he who has not controlled the senses and the mind by the constant practice of dispassion and meditation. Selfcontrolled he who has controlled the mind by the constant practice of dispassion and meditation. He can attain
Non-dualism. The individual self and Brahman are one. The world is appearance (maya). Liberation through knowledge.
।।6.36।।परंतु जिसका अन्तःकरण वशमें किया हुआ नहीं है उस मनको वशमें न करनेवाले पुरुषद्वारा अर्थात् जिसका अन्तःकरण अभ्यास और वैराग्यद्वारा संयत किया हुआ नहीं है ऐसे पुरुषद्वारा योग प्राप्त किया जाना कठिन है अर्थात् उसको योग कठिनतासे प्राप्त हो सकता है यह मेरा निश्चय है। परंतु जो स्वाधीन मनवाला है जिसका मन अभ्यासवैराग्यद्वारा वशमें किया हुआ है और जो फिर भी बारंबार यत्न करता ही जाता है ऐसे पुरुषद्वारा पूर्वोक्त उपायोंसे यह योग प्राप्त किया जा सकता है।
