Yoga becomes the destroyer of pain for him who is moderate in eating and recreation (such as walking, etc.), who is moderate in exertion in actions, who is moderate in sleep and wakefulness.

For one who is measured in eating and recreation, measured in effort at work, measured in sleep and waking, yoga becomes the destroyer of sorrow.

The positive rule is given. For one who is yukta, measured or balanced, in eating and recreation, in effort at work, and in sleep and waking, yoga becomes the remover of sorrow. The same word yukta, which also means joined in yoga, describes ordinary daily habits. The suggestion is that balance in daily life is already part of yoga, not a preliminary separate from it. The verse has become a well-known guide for a sustainable spiritual life that does not turn against the body.
