हन्ताऽऽत्मानमपि प्रसादय मनाग येनासतां सम्पदः,
साम्राज्यं परमेऽपि तेजसि तव प्राज्यं समुज्जभते ॥५४॥ Meaning : Ignorant soul! Why do you want to have wealth, fame, power etc., by pleasing gods and goddesses other than the Pure soul ? Please your soul a little and you will no doubt get, I am sure, the infinite kingdom of the soul that is splendorous, and the material prosperity of this world would fade into insignificance before it.
या शास्त्रात्सुगुरोर्मु खादनुभवाच्चाज्ञायि किंचित्क्वचित्, योगस्योपनिषद् विवेकिपरिषच्चेतश्चम-कारिणी॥ श्रीचौलुक्यकुमारपालनृपतेरत्यर्थमभ्यर्थना
दाचार्येण निवेशिता पथि गिरां श्रीहेमचन्द्रेण सा ॥५५॥ Meaning : Whatever little knowledge about yoga could be learned from the scriptures, the discourses of my guru, and from my personal spiritual experience; and which astonishes the discerning having aptitude for yoga; has been written by me, Acharya Hemchandra, in this work called YOGA SHASTRA, on the earnest request of the Chaulukya king Kumarpal.
