The Teachings of the Bhagavad-gita : 5.14.

Chapter 5: Life as a Yajna or Sacrifice : 14.

It is not merely goodness, charitableness and a humanitarian feeling, though all these things are wonderful in themselves. 

So, when there is a freedom achieved to some extent from emotional involvements in the form of love and hatred, we might have attained a great thing indeed – 

it is a very important success – 

but yoga is something deeper and more difficult to grasp because, 

as we make a distinction between abnormal psychology and general psychology or rather, 

the psychoanalytical process and the study of ordinary psychological functions, 

we may have to make a distinction between two types of involvement of the mind in objectivity – 

the one emotional and the other perceptional.
