Yoga-drishti samuccaya attains the supreme principle, that is, by the cessation of sin and doubt, the supreme principle is attained by distinguishing between the created and the uncreated. In another way, the attainment of the principle does not happen by activity.
1. Here, the first means of attaining the principle is Agama, because Agama is the word of the self-realized person who has seen the principle directly. By going to the nectar of the words of such a supremely wise and principle-knowing person, that is, by worshipping the words of a virtuous person with understanding and understanding, the attainment of the supreme principle is sure to happen.

Because Agama is the word of the directly principle-knowing person, its place is much higher than reasoning. Therefore, there is no obstacle in establishing the principle of Agama with good reasoning, but there is definitely an obstacle in uplifting it. And that is why Agama is placed first here.
3. And the third means of attaining the principle is the interest of the four practices. By studying the yoga practice prescribed in the true scriptures with interest, the supreme principle is attained. The yoga practice, that is, the practice of Dharma, which is shown in the scriptures, by taking interest in studying it again and again, the soul's maturity becomes pure, and the knowledge becomes pure, so the miracle of the principle shines in it. Here, the word 'rasa' indicates the feeling of being one-minded and absorbed in yoga practice. The place of this practice here is...
