FAQs
It highlights the mark of a realized yogin: unwavering steadiness (sthiti) even when obstructed, and mastery over bodily urges like hunger and thirst—signs of inner detachment supporting moksha.
Though not explicitly naming bhakti, the yogin’s steadfastness models the same one-pointed perseverance required in Vishnu-bhakti—remaining firm despite external denial and internal discomfort.
No specific Vedanga (like Vyakarana or Jyotisha) is taught in this line; the practical takeaway is yogic discipline—restraint of bodily impulses (kṣut-pipāsā) as part of sādhanā in Moksha-dharma.
