Educational Q&A
True Yoga is recognized as inner integration and steadiness: the senses are gathered under the mind, and the mind is stabilized by the intellect. When one becomes unshaken, desireless, and firmly established—like a pillar or mountain—scripturally trained sages acknowledge that state as being ‘yukta’ (yoga-established).
Vasiṣṭha is instructing the king of Mithilā (Janaka) on the marks of an accomplished yogin. Using vivid similes (pillar, stone, dry wood, mountain), he describes the experiential criteria by which knowledgeable sages recognize genuine yogic establishment.
