Purusottama Yoga

The Yoga of the Supreme Person

Sanskrit Verse

Utkramantam sthitam vapi bhunjanam va gunānvitam, vimudha nānupashyanti pashyanti jnana-cakshusah

Translation & Meaning

The foolish cannot understand how a living entity departs from the body, nor how it enjoys sense experience under the spell of the modes of nature — but one whose eyes are trained in knowledge can see all this clearly. Spiritual vision, cultivated through knowledge, allows one to perceive the soul's journey that is hidden from the materially absorbed.

Key Teachings

  • The materially absorbed cannot perceive the soul's departure or its activities within the body
  • Knowledge cultivates a higher vision capable of seeing subtle spiritual truths
  • Ignorance of the soul's nature is the root of material delusion
