Yoga halts mental modifications to restore the seer’s true self. Five modifications cease through continuous practice and detachment. Samadhi levels range from reasoned states to seedless restraint, achieved via intense effort, faith, or surrender to God. Focusing on specific elements or cultivating virtues removes obstacles like sorrow and doubt. This process yields truth-filled wisdom, suppressing competing impressions to establish a causal hierarchy from mental purification to ultimate clarity and the cessation of all sustaining impressions. Kriya Yoga reduces afflictions rooted in ignorance, distinguishing the seer from Prakriti. Freedom arises through discriminative enlightenment and eight limbs: Yama, Niyama, Asana, Pranayama, Pratyahara, Dharana, Dhyana, and Samadhi. These practices destroy impurities, control senses, and eliminate the veil over inner light, enabling the yogi to achieve Samadhi and Kaivalya by ceasing the union of subject and object. Samyama on specific objects yields diverse powers, including invisibility and cosmic knowledge. While these abilities aid worldly pursuits, they hinder Nirbeeja Samadhi. True liberation arises only when discriminative knowledge distinguishes Purusha from Buddhi, achieving equilibrium between material nature and spirit. This detachment destroys ignorance, granting salvation beyond the limited scope of yogic attainments. Yogic attainment transcends ordinary karma, eliminating latent impressions through desirelessness. By distinguishing the unchangeable Atman from the reflective mind, practitioners avoid infinite regression.
