The doctrine of the Sankhyas is that one should stand aloof or dissociated from objects of the senses, That Yogin who is freed from attachment and pride, who transcends all pairs of opposites such as pleasure and pain, heat and cold, etc., who never yields to anger or hate, who never speaks an untruth, who though, censured or struck still shows friendship for the slanderer or the striker, who never thinks of injuring others, who restrains these three, viz., speech, acts, and mind, and who treats all creatures equally, succeeds in approaching the presence of Brahman. That person who has no desire for earthly objects, who is not unwilling to take what comes, who is dependent on earthly objects so far as they are required for sustaining life, who is free from cupidity, who has driven off all sorrow, who has controlled his senses, who performs all necessary acts, who does not care for beauty and dress, whose senses are all collected, whose purposes are never left undone, who treats all creatures like friends, who considers equally a clod of earth and a lump of gold, who is equally disposed towards friend and enemy, who is endued with patience, who treats praise and blame equally, who is free from longing for all objects of desire, who practises Brahmacharya, and who is firin and steady in all his vows and observances, who cherishes no malice or envy for any creature in the universe, is a Yogin who according to the Sankhya system succeeds in acquiring Liberation. 27217 yrir fagreint frustrate na
