English translation

“Lack of association with the Lord is called ayoga. In this state, the anubhāvas are concentration on the Lord within the heart, reviewing His qualities and thinking of means to obtain His association. There are two types of ayoga: utkaṇṭhitam (longing before ever meeting the Lord) and viyoga (separation after meeting).”
