In plain words
The first door into yoga looks small: keep your speech in check, hold nothing you don't need, stop expecting outcomes, stop straining after things, and make solitude a settled habit rather than an occasional escape.
Close to the Sanskrit
The first gateway of yoga is restraint of speech, non-acquisitiveness, absence of hope, absence of striving, and a constant habit of solitude.
