Rasa is generated, The heroic attempts to concentrate the mind on the Supreme Consciouscess is Vira Rasa, As soon as such attempts begin to flow evenly, he feels lightness and peace of mind and spirit and that is spiritual Hasya or Prasannata. At this, when he looks back on the tempter he feels on disgust for him but Vatsalya for his soul and feels all forms as the manifestation of the one universal consciousness. Then he enjoys stability in that Supreme state and that is Santa Rasa, Thus he experiences the truth of the Upanisadic statement that Supreme Consciousness is Rasa itself, Here the integration of all Rasa and knowledge is complete.
+ Supreme State and its Aspects

When the Sadhaka experiences Santa Rasa, his consciousness identifies itself with the Supreme Consciousness and he reaches the goal. But only reaching the goal is not sufficient. He should stabilize there. Only by self-stabilization he can go beyond the limitations of ego and stay permanently in the egoless state. There are a few aspects or stages of this highest Supreme Realization. Permanent stabilization of the Self requires a few higher processes and by them alone he can have Jivanmukti or Mokşa.
The first and most important process is Svarthasaṁyama and Patanjali describes it as an innermost process by which the Sadhaka interiorizes all mental tendencies and activities of the mind in the Self. By this process he begins to feel that all his desires or Vṛttis can be well satisfied in the Self alone and interiorizing them all in the Self, they converge and meet and integrate in the Self by automatic Sublimation. The purpose of this process is quite clear, It has been already made clear that by Asmită Self becomes identified with not-self. They are so intermingled that Soul's independent existence is not felt and ego is working on the conscious level. To untie this knot in the nature of course, this process of Svarthasamyama is very useful. Soul identifies with the not-self because he feels his desires to be fulfilled in such identification. But the Sadhaka realizes during his Sadhana that all desires, tendencies and activities of the mind find fulfillment only in the Self and therefore they are all to be diverted to the self. This diversion results in complete sublimation and it is so concentrated that by its steady flow upward, the Self stands realized in its true nature. So Svarthasaṁyama is the first aspect of the highest process for the egoless state.
As soon as this process becomes an even flow, the knot of Asmita begins to be untied in its true nature. The next aspect of this process is to detach completely from the Sattva i.e. the subtle stuff of the mind and thus the Self should try to stand aloof from the Sattva. This is called Anyatakhyāti by Patanjali. It hastens the former process of Svarthasaṁyama 12
