B.G 6.44
पूर्वाभ्यासेन तेनैव ह्रियते ह्यवशोऽपि सः। जिज्ञासुरपि योगस्य शब्दब्रह्मातिवर्तते ॥४४॥
Such a person is involuntarily drawn to Yoga by the previous practice, becomes inquisitive about it and transcending the bounds of Vedic rituals.
Gīta Bhāshya 6.44
One who is inquisitive and has a strong desire to know Yoga finally transcends the bounds of Vedic rituals and attains the supreme Brahman.
योगस्य जिज्ञासुरपि, ज्ञातव्यो मया योगः इति यस्य अतीव इच्छा सोऽपि शब्दब्रह्म अतिवर्तते परं ब्रह्म प्राप्नोति इत्यर्थः ॥ ४४ ॥
The phrase 'yogasya jijñāsurapi' means, the one who is inquisitive and has a strong desire, "Yoga is to be known by me". Such a person transcends the bounds of Vedic rituals and attains the supreme Brahman - is the meaning.
Gīta Tātparya 6.44
Gradation of those who pursue Yoga is in the following order: a mere reader, one who is inquisitive, one who knows, and then one who abides in it.
"मोक्षोपायस्य जिज्ञासुरपि केवलपाठकात् विशिष्टः। किमु तद्विद्वान् किं पुनः यस्तदास्थितः॥"
"The one who is inquisitive about the means of liberation is more distinguished than a mere reader. How much more so, then, is one who knows it? And how much more indeed is one who abides in it?"
इति परमयोगे ॥४४॥
- thus stated in Parama-Yoga text.
