As a man of cool courage and determination, while going up a flight of steps with a vessel full of oil in his hands, does not spill even a drop of the liquid if terrified and threatened by person armed with weapons, so the Yogin, when his his mind has been concentrated and when he sees the Supreme Soul in contemplation, does not, of account of the entire stoppage of the functions of his senses at such a time, move in the slightest degree. Even these should be known to be the marks of the Yogin while he is in contemplation.
तैलपात्रं यथा पूर्ण कराभ्यां गृह्य पुरुषः। सोपानमारुहेद् भीतस्तय॑मानोऽसिपाणिभिः॥ संयतात्मा भयात् तेषां न पात्राद् बिन्दुमुत्सृजेत्। तथैवोत्तरमागम्य एकाग्रमनसस्तथा॥ स्थिरत्वादिन्द्रियाणां तु निश्चलत्वात् तथैव च। एवं युक्तस्य तु मुनेर्लक्षणान्युपलक्षयेत्॥
