यतन्तो योगिनश्चैनं पश्यन्त्यात्मन्यवस्थितम् । यतन्तोऽप्यकृतात्मानो नैनं पश्यन्त्यचेतसः ॥ ११ ॥
yatanto yoginaśh chainaṁ paśhyanty ātmany avasthitam yatanto ’py akṛitātmāno nainaṁ paśhyanty achetasaḥ
Translation
Striving yogis see it established in themselves. But those whose minds are unrefined and who lack awareness do not see it, even when they strive.
Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)
प्रयत्नशील योगी इसे अपने भीतर स्थित देखते हैं; परंतु जिनका अंतःकरण शुद्ध नहीं हुआ है, वे अविवेकी प्रयत्न करते हुए भी इसे नहीं देख पाते।
Commentary
An honest verse: effort alone is not enough. Yatanto appears twice, once for those who succeed and once for those who do not. The difference is akritatmanah, a heart not yet purified. Effort must be joined with inner cleansing, through right conduct, devotion and humility.
