Yoga Sutras of Patanjali translated by Yogi Kalinath - Chapter 4, Verse 31

Pada 4, Sutra 31

Sanskrit Verse

Tadaa sarvaavarana-malaapetasya jnaanasyaanantyaaj jneyam alpam

Translation

When all the coverings and impurities are removed, little remains to be known.

Interpretation

When the dust on the mirror of absolute awareness is removed so does the concept of I and thou disappear. All is perceived and known directly through the intuitive faculty moment to moment. As all finite objects have proceeded from the Infinite, when the Spirit Soul realizes its One-ness with the Infinite little remains to be known. The search for Truth is over.

Reflection

Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in Heaven is perfect Matthew 5:48
