पातञ्जल योगसूत्र (स्वामी विवेकानन्द भाष्य एवं सूत्र व्याख्या)

Patanjali Yoga Sutras
next will be that this Chitta itself will realise that it melts
away into its causes whenever we so desire. Lastly we shall
find that we are established in our Self, that we have been
alone throughout the universe, neither body nor mind was
ever connected with us, much less joined to us. They were
working their own way, and we, through ignorance, joined
ourselves to them. But we have been alone, omnipotent,
omnipresent, ever blessed; our own Self was so pure and
perfect that we required none else. We required none else to
make us happy, for we are happiness itself. We shall find that
this knowledge does not depend on anything else; throughout
the universe there can be nothing that will not become
effulgent before our knowledge. This will be the last state,
and the Yogi will become peaceful and calm, never to feel any
more pain, never to be again deluded, never to touch misery.
He knows he is ever blessed, ever perfect, almighty.

By the practice of the different parts of Yoga the
impurities being destroyed knowledge becomes
effulgent, up to discrimination.
Now comes the practical knowledge. What we have just been
speaking about is much higher. It is way above our heads, but
it is the ideal. It is first necessary to obtain physical and
mental control. Then the realisation will become steady in
that ideal. The ideal being known, what remains is to practise
the method of reaching it.
