Yōga Sūtras

Yōga Sūtra 2.23

स्वस्वामिशक्त्योः स्वरूपोपलब्धिहेतुः संयोगः।

svasvāmiśaktyōḥ svarūpōpalabdhihētuḥ saṁyōgaḥ।

[स्व स्वामि शक्त्योः स्वरूपः उपलब्धिः हेतुः संयोगः।
sva = = one's own; svāmi = master's; śaktyōḥ = of two powers; svarūpaḥ = the essence; upalabdhiḥ = obtaining such benefit; hētuḥ = is the caused of; saṁyōgaḥ = the integration;]

The understanding of the essence of one's own self, and that of the master, and the understanding of both their powers, is obtained by Samyōga, i.e. in-unison.

Difference between 'sva', the self, and Svāmi, the master, is to be observed.

ॐ असतो मा सद्गमय। तमसो मा ज्योतिर्गमय। मृत्योर्माऽमृतं गमय। ॐ शान्ति: शान्ति: शान्ति: ॥ - बृहदारण्यकोपनिषद् 1.3.28
"Ōm! Lead me from the unreal to the real, from darkness to light, and from death to immortality. Let there be peace, peace, and peace. Ōm!" - Brihadaranyaka Upanishad 1.3.28
