पातञ्जल योगसूत्र (स्वामी विवेकानन्द भाष्य एवं सूत्र व्याख्या)

Patanjali Yoga Sutras
29. यमनियमासनप्राणायामप्रत्याहारधारणाध्यानसमाधयोऽष्टाव
अङ्गानि ॥ २९॥
yamaniyamasanapranayamapratyaharadharanadhy
anasamadhayo-a-shtava anggani
Yama, Niyama, Asana, Pranayama, Pratya hara,
Dharana, Dhyana, Samadhi, are the limbs of Yoga.
30. अहिंसासत्यास्तेयब्रह्मचर्यापरिग्रहा यमाः ॥ ३०॥
ahinsasatyasteyabrahmacharyaparigraha yamah
Non-killing, truthfulness, non-stealing, continence,
and non-receiving, are called Yama.
A man who wants to be a perfect Yogi must give up the sex
idea. The Soul has no sex; why should it degrade itself with
sex ideas? Later we shall understand better why these ideas
must be given up. Receiving is just as bad as stealing;
receiving gifts from others. Whoever receives gifts, his mind
is acted on by the mind of the giver, so that the man who
receives gifts becomes degenerated. Receiving gifts destroys
the independence of the mind, and makes us mere slaves.
Therefore, receive nothing.
