Sarvanindriaya-karmani prana-karmani capare, atma-samyama-yogagnau juhvati jnana-dipite

Others sacrifice all the functions of the senses and all the functions of the life force into the fire of yoga for self-restraint, kindled with knowledge.

  • Yoga itself is a sacred fire in which all activity is offered
  • Self-restraint illumined by knowledge is the highest sacrifice
  • All vital functions can be consciously surrendered
