Klesha Karma Vipaka Asayaih Aparamrstah Purusavisesa Isvarah (Yoga Sutra 1.24)
Ishvara (the supreme power) is a special Purusha, unattached by misery, actions, their results and desires.
Here, for the first time, Patanjali introduces the idea of God. Here, we can differentiate the concept of the Vedas that God is the creator of universe, but Patanjali regards God as a special kind of being unattached by ignorance, not subject to Karmas or Samsakaras or the result of action. In Dr. Jayadeva's words, Yoga has taken a special position. Ishvara does exist in yoga, but Ishvara of yoga does not interfere, he is neither a creator, nor a destroyer nor does He maintain. He is Unique. He is special. His real purpose in the Sankhya Yoga scheme is to act as a model and through that help a sincere individual to spiritually evolve. Dr. Jayadeva further clarifies that God has no kleshas, no action, no desire, He is not connected to a particular Chitta.

How hunger and thirst run our lives
कर्तव्य की भावना से कार्य में उत्कृष्ठता (excellence)
क ई तरह की व्यवस्थाएँ हैं, जो हमें सचेत करती हैं कि हमें क्या करना है। माता-पिता, समाज, कानून आदि के प्रति हमारे कुछ उत्तरदायित्व होते हैं, कर्तव्य व व्यवहार के कुछ नियम होते हैं जिनका हमें पूर्ण रूप से पालन करना होता है, परन्तु बहुत से लोग अपने कर्तव्यों के प्रति लापरवाह होते हैं, उन्हें अपने कर्तव्य पालन करना पसंद नहीं है ।
