ārurukṣor-muner-yogaṃ karma kāraṇam ucyate |
yogārūḍhasya tasyaiva śamaḥ kāraṇam ucyate || 3 ||

3. For the sage who seeks to ascend to the heights of Yoga, action is said to be the means; but
when one has reached the summit of Yoga, quiescence is said to be the means.

Commentary

In the case of one who aspires for Moksha, who desires Self-realisation, Karma-Yoga is declared to be the preferable means. For the same person, who has once become established in [the practice of] Yoga— quiescence, or abstinence from actions, is said to the means. One should continue to perform actions until one has attained liberation (Moksha) in the form of Self-realisation.
