सुवृष्टौ यथा नो नदीपूररोधः, प्रवृत्तौ यथा चित्तवृत्तेर्न रोधः । तथा यावदस्ति त्रिधा योगपत्तिन तावत्पुनः कर्मणां स्यानिवृत्तिः ॥५४॥
Meaning :- The activity of the mind, speech, and body is technically called Yoga. Just as it becomes difficult to check the flow of waters when it is torrentially raining at the mouth of the river or just as it becomes difficult to put a stop to the activity of the mind when the daily routine is going on, similarly the cessation of the Karmic Influx cannot be effected when the activities of the mind, speech, and boddy are going on in full swing. This three fold activity of mind, body, and speech should surely cease if one wants to effectively stop the Karmic bondage, in its various aspects. (54)
