"Now I give the explanation of yoga and its practice."

"The skill of yoga is demonstrated by the conscious non-operation of the vibrational modes of the mento-emotional energy."

"Then the perceiver is situated in his own form."

"At other times, there is conformity with the mento-emotional energy."

"The vibrations in the mento-emotional energy are five-fold being agonizing or none-troublesome."

"They are correct perception, incorrect perception, imagination, sleep and memory."

"Correct perception may be acquired directly, by correct analysis or by correct reference."

"Incorrect perception is based on false information and on perception of what is not the true form."

"Verbal or written information which is followed by concepts which are devoid of reality, is imagination."

"Sleep is the vibrationial mode which is supported by the absence of objective awareness."

"Memory is the retained impression of experienced objects."

"That non-operation of the vibrational modes is achieved by effective practice in not having an interest in the very same operations."

"In that case, practice is the persistent endeavor (to cultivate that lack of interest)."

"But that is attained on the firm basis of a continuous reverential sustained practice which is executed for a long time."

"The non-interest in the operations of the mento-emotional energy is achieved by one who has perfect mastery in consciousness and who does not crave for what is perceived or what is heard of in the mundane existence."

"That highest non-interest occurs when there is freedom from desire for the features of material nature and thorough awareness of the spiritual person."

"The observational linkage of the attention to a higher concentration force occurs with analysis, reflection and introspective happiness or with focus on self-consciousness."

"The other state is the complete departure from the level where the remaining impressions lie in the mento-emotional energy."

"Of those who are diffused into subtle material nature and those who existing in a bodiless state, their psychology has that content."

"For others, confidence, stamina, introspective memory, the continuous effortless linkage of the attention to a higher concentration force, and profound insight, all being previously mastered, serves as the cause."

"For those who practice forcefully in a very intense way, the skill of yoga will be achieved very soon."

"Then there is even more ratings, according to intense, mediocre, or slight practice."

"Or by the method of profound religious meditation upon the Supreme Lord."

"The Supreme Lord is that special person who is not affected by troubles, actions, developments or by subconscious motivations."

"There, in Him, is found the unsurpassed origin of all knowledge."

"He, this particular person, being unconditioned by time is the guru even of the ancient teachers, the authorities from before."

"Of Him, the sacred syllable Āuṁ (Om) is the designation."

"That sound is repeated, murmured constantly for realizing its meaning."

"As a result there is inwardness of the sense consciousness and the disappearance of obstacles to progress."

"These obstacles are disease, idleness, doubt, inattentiveness, lack of energy and proneness to sensuality, mistaken views, not being able to maintain the progress attained, unsteadiness in progression, scattered mental and emotional energy."

"Distress, depression, nervousness and labored breathing are the symptoms of a distracted state of mind."

"For the removal of the obstacles, there should be the practice of a standard method used in the pursuit of the reality."

"The abstract meditation resulting from the serenity of the mento-emotional energy, comes about by friendliness, compassion, cheerfulness and non-responsiveness to happiness, distress, virtue and vice;"

"or by regulating the exhalation and inhalation of the vital energy;"

"or by fusion and steadiness of the mind which is produced by the operation of the mento-emotional energy towards an object which is different to, but similar to a normal thing;"

"or by sorrow-less and spiritually-luminous states;"

"or by fixing the mento-emotional energy on someone who is without craving;"

"or by taking recourse to dream or dreamless sleep."

"Or it can be achieved from the effortless linkage of the mind to a higher concentration force which was dearly desired."

"The mastery of his psyche results in control of his relationship to the smallest atom or to cosmic proportions."

"In regards to the great reduction of the mento-emotional operations, there is fusion of the perceiver, the flow of perceptions and what is perceived, just like the absorption of a transparent jewel."

"In that case, the deliberate linkage of the mento-emotional energy to a higher concentrating force occurs when a word, its meaning and the knowledge of the object alternate within the mind, blending as it were."

"Non-analytical linkage of his attention to a higher concentration force occurs when the memory is completely purified and the essential inquiring nature disappears as it were, such that the value of that higher force shines through."

"By this, the investigative and non-investigative linkage of one’s attention to a higher concentration force consisting of subtler objects, was explained."

"The insight into the subtle nature of gross objects terminates when one becomes linked to the higher concentration force which has no characteristics."

"The previous descriptions concern the effortless and continuous linkage of the attention to a higher concentration force, as motivated by the mento-emotional energy."

"On gaining competence in the non-investigative linkage of one’s attention to the higher concentration force, one experiences the clarity and serenity which results from the linkage of the Supreme Soul and the limited one."

"There with that competence, the yogin develops the reality-perceptive insight."

"It is different from the two methods of insight which are based on what is heard and what is reasoned out, because that is limited to a particular aspect of an object."

"That impression which is produced from the reality-perceptive insight, acts as the preventer of the other impressions"

"The continuous effortless linkage of the attention to the higher concentration force which is not motivated by this mento-emotional energy, occurs when there is a non-operation, even of that preventative impression which caused the suppression of all other lower memories"
