पातञ्जल योगसूत्र (स्वामी विवेकानन्द भाष्य एवं सूत्र व्याख्या)

Patanjali Yoga Sutras
control. Higher forces than we know in physical nature will
have to be subdued. This body is just the external crust of the
mind. They are not two different things; they are just as the
oyster and its shell. They are but two aspects of one thing;
the internal substance of the oyster is taking up matter from
outside, and manufacturing the shell. In the same way these
internal fine forces which are called mind take up gross matter
from outside, and from that manufacture this external shell, or
body. If then, we have control of the internal, it is very easy to
have control of the external. Then again, these forces are not
different. It is not that some forces are physical, and some
mental; the physical forces are but the gross manifestations of
the fine forces, just as the physical world is but the gross
manifestation of the fine world.
26. विवेकख्यातिरविप्लवा हानोपायः ॥ २६ ॥
vivekakhyatiraviplava hanopayah
The means of destruction of ignorance is unbroken
practice of discrimination.
This is the real goal of practice—discrimination between the
real and unreal, knowing that the PuruSa is not nature, that it
is neither matter nor mind, and that because it is not nature, it
cannot possibly change. It is only nature which changes,
combining, and recombining, dissolving continually. When
through constant practice we begin to discriminate, ignorance
will vanish, and the PuruSa will begin to shine in its real
nature, omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent.
