Saṃhāra-krama (The Sequence of Cosmic Dissolution) — Yājñavalkya’s Discourse
युक्तस्तथायमात्मानं योग: पार्थिव निश्चलम् । करोत्यमलमात्मानं भास्करोपमदर्शनम्
bhīṣma uvāca | yuktas tathāyam ātmānaṃ yogaḥ pārthiva niścalam | karoty amalam ātmānaṃ bhāskaropama-darśanam ||
Wika ni Bhishma: “O hari, kapag ang Yogang ito’y naisagawa nang wasto, ginagawa nitong matatag at di-gumagalaw ang sarili. Nililinis nito ang kalooban, at ang kamalayan ng yogin ay nagiging maningning—gaya ng araw—malinaw ang pagtanaw at walang dungis.”

Educational Q&A
Yoga, when practiced with discipline, steadies the mind/self and purifies it; from that purity arises luminous clarity of perception, compared to the radiance of the sun.
In the Shanti Parva’s instruction section, Bhishma continues advising the king on inner discipline: he explains the effect of yoga practice—stability, purity, and radiant insight—using the sun as a metaphor for the yogin’s clarified awareness.
