FAQs
It stresses the epistemic limit of ordinary, conditioned (vyakta) perception: the Unmanifest principle is not grasped as an object by normal sensory-intellectual means, implying the need for a higher discipline or realization.
Puruṣa commonly denotes the Supreme Person or the inner conscious principle (Self) distinct from manifest nature; the verse frames it as a doctrinal question inviting a formal definition.
Yoga is presented as the means or state connected with realizing higher truth, while yogavān is the one who possesses that discipline/realization—i.e., a practitioner or realized yogin capable of approaching what the manifest mind cannot.
