[Advaita-l] Definition of yoga - from advaita perspective by Sri sadAsivabrahmEndra

[Venkata sriram P]

Namaste,
 
Yet another thought provoking definition of *yOga* by srI sadAsivabrahmEndra saraswati
 
His Holiness says in manISa panchakaM bhASya called *tAtparya deepika* as:
 
// yOgO jIva-brahmaikya jnAnaM tadvAn yOgi tathA cha smaryatE //
 
// vrittihInaM manaH krutvA kSEtrajnaM paramAtmani ; EkIkrutya vimuchyEta 
yOgO(a)yaM mukhya unchyatE //
 
Here, in this context, yoga is jiva-brahma-aikya only and the one who has this knowledge is also called yogi.  
 
This is the bhASya to 4th sloka of manISa panchakaM
 
regs,
