Yoga is perfected by these six qualities: enthusiasm, audacity, perseverance, discriminative knowledge, firm faith, and withdrawal from worldly company.

This verse complements the previous one, presenting the six qualities (ṣaḍ-guṇa) that lead to success:

1. Utsāha — Enthusiasm. The positive energy that drives practice.

2. Sāhasa — Audacity or courage. The willingness to face the unknown in practice.

3. Dhairya — Perseverance or patience. Continuing despite obstacles.

4. Tattva-jñāna — Knowledge of fundamental principles. Understanding what you are doing and why.

5. Niścaya — Firm faith or determination. Unshakeable confidence in the path.

6. Jana-saṅga-parityāga — Renunciation of worldly company. Seeking satsaṅga (company of seekers).

Note that the last point appears in both lists: the company we choose profoundly influences our practice.
