Haṭha Yoga Pradīpikā / 4.62 Aloneness remains
4.62
Haṭha (हठ) Yoga Pradīpikā (प्रदीपिका)
ज्ञेयवस्तुपरित्यागाद् विलयं याति मानसम् ।
मनसो विलये जाते कैवल्यमवशिष्यते jñeyavastuparityāgād vilayaṃ yāti mānasam |
manaso vilaye jāte kaivalyam avaśiṣyate
The line
From the leaving of the knowable thing, the mind goes to dissolution. When the mind's dissolution has arisen, aloneness remains.
नेपालीमा
ज्ञेय वस्तु छोडेपछि मन लयमा जान्छ। मनको लय उठेपछि एक्लोपन बाँकी रहन्छ।
Where it sits
Kaivalya (कैवल्य) is aloneness. Yoga Sūtra (सूत्र) 4.34 ends on that word. The two books can be read side by side there. This verse reaches kaivalya (कैवल्य) by the mind's laya (लय).
