FAQs

Differences in capacities and roles are depicted as ordained functional distributions; ethically, this supports acting with responsibility within one’s sphere while recognizing an underlying unity behind diverse functions.

Sarga: it explains not only that things are created, but how their functions and differentiations are apportioned.

Sense-object, element, and body are aligned as a single system of correspondence; ‘viniyoga’ implies that perception and embodiment are structured fields, enabling both bondage (through misapplication) and liberation (through right alignment).
