Verse 6.111.30

मन्येऽस्य दुष्करस्त्यागो न सिद्धिमुपगच्छति ।
कथमेष किल त्यक्तुं शक्यते योगिनां वर ॥ ३० ॥

manye'sya duṣkarastyāgo na siddhimupagacchati |
kathameṣa kila tyaktuṃ śakyate yogināṃ vara || 30 ||

I see the difficulty both of forsaking his mind, as also of his forgetting his egoism or self-personality; and own also the impossibility of one's consummation, without his relinquishing both of these; tell me now, O thou greatest of yogi thinkers, how is it possible to get rid of them in any wise.
