Sankhya Yoga

The Yoga of Knowledge

Sanskrit Verse

Yada te moha-kalilam buddhir vyatitarishyati tada gantasi nirvedam shrotavyasya shrutasya ca

Translation & Meaning

When your intelligence has passed out of the dense forest of delusion, you shall become indifferent to all that has been heard and all that is to be heard. As the mind becomes purified through yoga practice, one reaches a state of vairagya — dispassion toward all scripturally prescribed duties and worldly experiences. This marks the beginning of true liberation.

Key Teachings
