Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason Birch1) Division (between substances) can be denoted by the Sanskrit term Vibhakti, according to the Niśvāsakārikā (Jñānakāṇḍa verse 12.162-63).—Accordingly: “When a Brahmin, Kṣatriya, Vaiśya or Śūdra is a knower of the highest reality, [then] no distinction exists [between them], just as no division (vibhāga) exists [between] fire placed in fire, milk in milk [or] water poured into water. [This] truth has been spoken by Śiva”.
2) The Division (of the Sakala contemplation) is denoted by the Sanskrit term Prabheda, according to verse 13.7cd-8 of the Mālinīvijayottaratantra.—Accordingly, “If one attains identification [with the water element, then], within six months steadiness is achieved. Within three years one attains gnostic vision of the water-realm. In the motionless division (nirvyāpāra-prabheda) [of the Sakala contemplation] also, one is conjoined to the reality level of water [and becomes] in all respects similar to water”.
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).
