FAQs
It distinguishes between merely practicing yoga (yoga-yukta) and the culmination of yoga—perfect samādhi—through which direct realization of Parabrahman is attained.
While the verse speaks in yogic terms, it supports the broader Narada Purana theme that liberation requires inner absorption and direct God-realization; bhakti can mature into single-pointed absorption that functions like samādhi.
No specific Vedāṅga (like Vyākaraṇa, Jyotiṣa, or Kalpa) is taught here; the practical takeaway is the disciplined progression of sādhanā—from practice to perfected absorption—central to mokṣa-dharma instruction.
