The essential characteristic of the yogi`s exalted knowledge is that he grasps instantly, clearly and wholly, the aims of all objects without going into the sequence of time or change.
Invigorated in understanding, clear in action, he dominates and transgresses nature and reaches, through yogic practices, the light of the soul. (1.36; 11.52; III.34 and 36.)
