Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchSulīnaka (सुलीनक) or “absorbed” refers to one of the Four States of Mind (Manovasthā), according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.—Accordingly, as Īśvara says to Vāmadeva: “[...] [These] four states of mind should be known by the wise: disintegrated, coming and going, integrated and absorbed (sulīnaka). The disintegrated [mind] is said to be Tamasic, the coming and going [mind], Rajasic, the integrated [mind], Sattvic and the absorbed [mind] is beyond [these] qualities. [...] [The term] ‘absorbed’ (sulīnaka) is that [mind] which has become still in the highest degree and is accompanied by the [highest] bliss. [...]”.
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).
