Part XIII: Union (Yoga).
Liberation is not on the other side of the sky, nor in the nether world, nor
on earth; liberation lies in the mind purified by proper Spiritual Knowing.
Yogavasishtha.
He alone is fit to inquire after the Self, who has acquired full discrimination;
who is firm in non-attachment; who has in him the qualities beginning with
self-control; and who, thus qualified, feels keen desire for knowledge.
Aparokshanubhuti.
I have studied enough of philosophy, nay I have talked and taught it to my
full; And, now I am convinced there is no condition higher than that Silence
which comes of the abandonment of all latent desire.
Yogavasishtha.
That is called the highest condition wherein all the five senses and the mind
remain under full control and wherein even the intellect does not pass out
to other desires. This steadying of the senses is called Yoga; the Yogi is full
awake in that condition, for, Yoga is creating accompanied with giving up.
Kathopanishad.
