Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchSarvasama (सर्वसम) refers to “becoming impartial to all things”, according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.—Accordingly, as Īśvara says to Vāmadeva: “[...] [Now], I will teach the practice of that, which produces absorption. [...] When [the Yogin] is freed from sense objects, knowledge of an external [world] does not exist. And when knowledge of an external [world] has disappeared, then [the Yogin] becomes impartial to all things (sarvasama). [...]”.
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).
