तारकं सर्वविषयं सर्वथाविषयम् अक्रमं
चेति विवेकजं ज्ञानम् ॥

tārakaṃ sarvaviṣayaṃ sarvathāviṣayam akramaṃ
ceti vivekajaṃ jñānam .. 3.55..

55. The saving knowledge is that knowledge of discrimination which simultaneously covers all objects, in all their variations.

Commentary on Sri Patanjali Yogasutra by Swami Vivekananda

Saving, because the knowledge takes the Yogi across the ocean of birth and death. The whole of Prakriti in all its states, subtle and gross, is within the grasp of this knowledge. There is no succession in perception by this knowledge; it takes in all things simultaneously, at a glance.
