4.27

सर्वाणीन्द्रियकर्माणि प्राणकर्माणि चापरे ।
आत्मसंयमयोगाग्नौ जुह्वति ज्ञानदीपिते
॥ ४=२७॥

sarvāṇīndriyakarmāṇi prāṇakarmāṇi
cāpare I ātmasaṁyamayogāgnau
juhvati jñānadī pite

Swami Vivekananda or young ascetic painting

One who is interested in knowledge offers all the actions due to the senses, including the action of taking in the life breath into the fire of Yoga and is engaged in the yoga of the equanimity of the mind.

POWERFUL COGNITION

The very act of enriching, the welcoming attitude is what is important.

There is the sacrifice of material wealth, sacrifice through penance, sacrifice through yoga and other sacrifices while there is sacrifice through self-study and through strict vows.
