recommended process.
The physical body of the endeavoring yogī who is not yet mature in his practice may sometimes be overcome by various disturbances. Therefore the following process is recommended.
Purport
Having described the process of cultivating knowledge, the Lord now gives instructions to the yogī whose body may be disturbed by disease or other impediments. Those inferior yogīs who are attached to the body and bodily exercises are often incomplete in their realization, and thus the Lord here offers them some assistance.

Translation
The body of the endeavoring yogī who is not yet mature in his practice may sometimes be overcome by various natural disturbances. Therefore the following remedy is recommended.
Jñāna-yoga along with discrimination has been described. Now the solution for obstacles occurring for the practitioner is described in three verses. For the person practicing yoga, if the body somehow is overcome by natural phenomena like sickness, there is a remedy.
Personal Guidance
An immature yogī's body may be overcome by disturbances; certain processes are recommended for handling them. The Lord acknowledges the body's vulnerability.
Reflection Questions
- What 'bodily disturbance' is currently checking my practice?
- What recommended process matches?
