Jīvabrahmaikya (जीवब्रह्मैक्य) refers to the “union of the individual self with Brahma”, according to Divākara’s commentary on the Bodhasāra’s first verse on its section on Rājayoga.—Accordingly, “Rājayoga is the yoga of kings, because rulers can accomplish it even when [they] remain in their position (i.e., as kings). [It is] the yoga associated with [kings] and its [main] characteristic is knowledge concerning the union of the individual self with Brahma (jīvabrahmaikya)”.

context information
