Yoga (school of philosophy)

[«𱹾dzܲ Ա»] � Vyagra in Yoga glossary
: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason Birch

Vyagra (व्यग्र) refers to “being preoccupied (with carrying out someone’s actions)�, according to the Dattreyayogaśstra verse 101.4 and Yogatattvopaniṣat 1.76-78.—Accordingly, while discussing the concerns about the use of Siddhis: “These [Siddhis] are obstacles to the great Siddhi (i.e., liberation). The wise [Yogin] does not delight in them. He should never reveal his own power to anyone, except sometimes he may do so to a devotee out of kindness. The Yogin should behave among people as though dumb, simple or deaf, in order to keep his powers hidden. If not, then there will surely be many students [who will] undoubtedly ask the master of Yoga [to intervene] in their own affairs. [Because of this,] he will become preoccupied with carrying out their actions (ٲ-첹첹ṇa-ⲹ) and forgetful of his own [Yoga] practice�.
