Yoga (school of philosophy)

: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason Birch

1) Rays (of Light) can be denoted by the Sanskrit term Go, according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.鈥擜ccordingly, as 莫艣vara says to V膩madeva: 鈥淸...] [Now], I shall define the nature of that highest, mind-free absorption which arises for those devoted to constant practice. [...] By means of an absorption for half a day, the light of his own self shines. Just like the sun shines forth with its [own] rays of light (go), the Yogin shines forth [and illuminates] the world. [...]鈥�.

2) A Ray (of Light) is denoted by the Sanskrit term Ra艣mi, according to the Bh膩峁a (commentary) on the P膩ta帽jalayoga艣膩stra S奴tra 3.42.鈥擜ccordingly, 鈥�... [The yogin] who has mastered the connection [between body and space] becomes light. Because he is light, he can walk on water. Then, having walked on merely a spider鈥檚 thread, he walks on a ray of light (谤补艣尘颈). Then, he moves in the ether as he wishes鈥�.
