Sage: the Omniscient. The Ruler: of the whole world. Dispenser: who allots to all living beings actions and their results in all their variety. It is very difficult for anybody to conceive of His form though it exists. Like the Sun, He is glorious with the splendour of His Eternal Intelligence (Nitya-Caitanya) which is beyond the darkness of delusion or nescience (Ajnana). The strength of Yoga consists in the steadiness of mind which results from the after-effects of the (constant practice of) samadhi. At first the mind (chitta) is subdued in the lotus of the heart (hridayapundarika); then, by means of the up-going nadi (sushumna), after gradually obtaining control over the several stages of matter (earth and the other four rudimental elements), the life-breath of the heart is drawn up and carefully fixed betwixt the eye-brows. By this means the wise man, the Yogin, reaches the Supreme Puruṣa, who is resplendent.
