हिन्दी अनुवाद — Swami Tejomayānanda
योगका सेवन करनेसे जिस अवस्थामें निरुध्द चित्त उपराम हो जाता है तथा जिस अवस्थामें स्वयं अपने-आपमें अपने-आपको देखता हुआ अपने-आपमें सन्तुष्ट हो जाता है।।

from Q&A with KnA“Where the mind, restrained by the practice of yoga, comes to rest; where, seeing the Self by the self (ātmanā ātmānaṁ), one is satisfied in the Self.” The phrase is not a riddle but a precise description: the purified mind (the lower self) is turned back on its own source and there beholds the Self (the higher). The seer, the seen and the instrument of seeing collapse into one. This is the moment the whole discipline was for — self-evident, self-luminous, needing no external witness or proof.
