Translation
Traducción
“ ‘For those saintly persons who wish to rise to the platform of yogic perfection, the means consists of practicing the yoga system by strictly following its regulative principles and practicing the yoga postures and breathing exercises. And for those who are already elevated to this platform, the means consists of maintaining mental equilibrium [śama] by rejecting all material activity and practicing meditation to keep the mind on the Supreme Lord.
«“Para aquellas personas santas que desean elevarse al plano de la perfección yóguica, el medio consiste en practicar el sistema de yoga siguiendo estrictamente sus principios regulativos y practicando posturas de yoga, āsanas y ejercicios respiratorios. Y para quienes ya se han elevado a ese nivel, el medio consiste en mantener la mente en un estado de equilibrio [śama] rechazando toda actividad material y practicando la meditación para fijar la mente en el Señor Supremo.
