Disease, mental laziness, doubt, carelessness, laziness , non-abstention , false perception , failing to obtain stages of practice and inability to stay in that state - These distractions of the mind are the impediments.

From that comes realization of the Individual Self and the destruction of obstacles.

When repeating this and meditating on the Pranava one can become one with the ultimate.

The word to designate Him (Isvara) is Pranava or OM.

Patanjali is talking about Omniscience of Ishvara and His significance in attaining the Yoga.

In Him (in Isvara), the seed of Omniscience is unsurpassed.

Samadhi is attained by devotion to Ishwara.

Isvara is the Supreme Purusha, unaffected by misery, actions, fruits of action or desires.

They again differ according as the means are mild, medium or supreme.

Success is speeded for the extremely energetic.

This Samadhi, when not followed by extreme non-attachment becomes the cause of the re-manifestation of the gods and of those that become merged in nature

To others (this Samadhi) comes through faith, energy, memory, concentration, and discrimination of the real.

This absolute knowledge is engendered incrementally by divination, experience, joy, and ultimately the feeling of oneness. ||17||

The other state of insight, which is based on persistent practice, arises when all perception has been extinguished and only non-manifest impressions remain. ||18||

Success can definitely be achieved via sound and continuous practice over an extended period of time, carried out in a serious and thoughtful manner. ||14||

Imperturbability results from a balance in the consciousness, and when the desire for all things that we see or have heard of is extinguished. ||15||

The highest state of imperturbability arises from the experience of the true self; in this state even the basic elements of nature lose their power over us. || 16||

Recollections are engendered by the past, insofar as the relevant experience has not been eclipsed. ||11||

The state of yoga is attained via a balance between assiduousness (abhyasa) and imperturbability (vairagya). ||12||

Assiduousness means resolutely adhering to one’s practice of yoga. ||13||
