Through these six (ṣaḍbhiḥ | ins pl), yoga (yogaḥ | nom sg) succeeds (prasidhyati | 3p sg act pres): through energy (utsāhāt | abl sg), conviction (niścayāt | abl sg), steadfastness (dhairyāt | abl sg), knowledge of reality and vision of the self (tattva-jñāna-ātma-darśanāt | abl sg), and relinquishing social contact (jana-saṅga-parityāgāt | abl sg).
Energy, determination, and perseverance matter in your yoga practice. Seek clarity about reality and yourself, and make room away from distracting company.
Brahmānanda also interprets the six conditions for success concretely. Enthusiasm is the resolve to calm the mind as it runs toward sense objects. Courage begins after careful examination, and perseverance continues without despondency, if necessary for an entire lifetime. Knowledge recognizes the objective world as no more real than a mirage and Brahman as real. Certainty means trust in scripture and guru; unsuitable company is abandoned.
