**Measures for achieving 'Abhyāsa' and 'Vairāgya'.** Practice of concentration and an attitude of detachment from the world are the two principal means by which the Yogī is to achieve his progress towards *Samādhi*. But for those who are not yet yogīs but are mere novices and beginners, these two means have to be acquired by much preliminary discipline. The measures of this discipline are elaborated in the Sādhana-Pāda of the *Yoga-Sūtra*.
