6.42 Atha  va  etc.  If  emancipation is destined to come to him by way of difference  (or in grades), then he is rorn nowhere but in a family of the men of Yoga.  That is why (the Lord)  says :  For, this birth is more difficult ot get.  Indeed in the house of the rich there are necessarily many obstacles.
