Yoga Sutras 1.22
Patanjali, explained by Swami Vivekananda
मृदुमध्याधिमात्रत्वात्ततोऽपि विशेषः ॥
mṛdumadhyādhimātratvāttato'pi viśeṣaḥ
The success of Yogis differs according as the means they adopt are mild, medium, or intense.
In plain words: How fast a yogi succeeds depends on how hard they practice: gently, moderately, or with full intensity.
