अत्यल्पो ऽपि यथा दीपः सुमहन्नाशयेत्तमः ॥ योगाभ्यासस्तथाल्पो ऽपि महापापं विनाशयेत् ॥ २६ ॥

sanskrit

Just as even a modicum of light dispels darkness so also even the slightest practice of Yoga destroys great sins.

नास्ति ध्यानसमं तीर्थं नास्ति ध्यानसमं तपः ॥ नास्ति ध्यानसमो यज्ञस्तस्माद्ध्यानं समाचरेत् ॥ २८ ॥

sanskrit

No holy centre is so efficacious as meditation; no penance, no sacrifice is equal to it. Hence one shall perform meditation strenuously.
