The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali - Book 1 - The Problem of Union
13. Tireless endeavor is the constant effort to restrain
the modifications of the mind.This is one of the most difficult sutras to translate
so as to give its real significance. The idea involved is that of the constant effort made
by the spiritual man to restrain the modifications or [27] the fluctuations of the mind
and to control the lower psychic versatile nature in order fully to express his own
spiritual nature. Thus, and only thus, can the spiritual man live the life of the soul
each day upon the physical plane. Charles Johnston in his translation seeks to give this
meaning in the words "the right use of the will is the steady effort to stand in
spiritual being."
The idea involved is that of applying to the mind (regarded as a sixth sense) the same
restraint that the five lower senses are subjected to: their outward going activities are
stopped and they are held from responding to the pull or attraction of their particular
field of knowledge.
