Verse 3

The Yoga of Meditation

For one who is a neophyte in the eightfold yoga system, work is said to be the means; and for one who is already elevated in yoga, cessation of all material activities is said to be the means.

Context & Meaning

The path has two stages: for the beginner, selfless action (karma) is the ladder upward; for one who has ascended, inner stillness (shama) sustains the height. The medicine changes as the patient progresses.
