8609. The nature of the non-living (ajiva) has been explained. Now, the nature of the next category, asrava, is to be explained. Therefore, to clarify this, the following sutra is stated:
Body, speech, and mind are the actions (yoga). ||1||
8610. The words "body" etc. have been explained earlier. "Karma" and "action" are synonyms. The action of body, speech, and mind is called yoga. This is the meaning. The movement of the soul's regions is yoga. It is of three types, based on the difference in the cause: body yoga, speech yoga, and mind yoga. The explanation is as follows: When the karma of the obstruction of energy (virya) is destroyed and pacified, the movement of the soul's regions, which is based on the support of one of the seven types of body categories, such as generosity, is called body yoga. When the support of the speech categories, obtained from the arising of the karma called "body," is present, and when the inner speech attainment is obtained by the destruction and pacification of the karma of the obstruction of energy and the covering of the non-eternal letters, etc., the movement of the soul's regions, which is directed towards the speech category, is called speech yoga. When the inner mind attainment is obtained by the destruction and pacification of the karma of the obstruction of energy and the covering of the nine sense organs, and when the support of the mind categories, which are external causes, is present, the movement of the soul's regions, which is directed towards the mind category, is called mind yoga. It should be known that the movement of the soul's regions, which is based on the three types of categories of the liberated soul (sayogakevali), when the karma of the obstruction of energy and the karma of the covering of knowledge are destroyed, is also yoga.
