Sanskrit Original
।।6.42।।परिपक्वयोगः चलितः चेद् योगिनां धीमतां योगं कुर्वतां स्वयम् एव योगोपदेष्ट्ऋणां कुले भवति।तद् एतद् उभयविधं योगयोग्यानां योगिनां च कुले जन्म लोके प्राकृतानां दुर्लभतरम् एतत् तु योगमाहात्म्यकृतम्।
6.42 If one swerves from the right path at an advanced stage of Yoga, he will be born in a family of wise Yogins who practise Yoga and are themselves capable of teaching Yoga. Thus, these two types of birth - one in the family of those who are fit to practise Yoga and the other in that of accomplished Yogins - are hardly met with among common people in this world. But Yoga is of such great potentiality that even this rare blessing is achieved through it.
