Ātmapratīti (आत्मप्रतीति) refers to “understanding of oneself”, according to the Yogabīja (138).—Accordingly, “If the mind has disappeared when the breath [is flowing], then, the disappearance of the breath is certain as well. If this does not happen, the [Yogin] has no [knowledge of] scripture, no understanding of himself (ātmapratīti), no guru and no liberation”.

context information

Yoga is originally considered a branch of Hindu philosophy (astika), but both ancient and modern Yoga combine the physical, mental and spiritual. Yoga teaches various physical techniques also known as āsanas (postures), used for various purposes (eg., meditation, contemplation, relaxation).
