na āyāti athavā vikalpaḥ na eva śobhanaḥ
10. Indeed, the practice of spiritual discipline (yoga) does not become easily achievable simply because it involves techniques such as mental concentration (dhāraṇā), physical postures (āsana), and specific places. Furthermore, this alternative perspective (that it is easy) is not at all commendable.
