Bhaṣā is an action that is performed with auspicious intentions. In the Patañjalayāna, the restraint of the citta's vṛtti is called yoga. It has the same meaning, that is, such restraint is the main cause of mokṣa, because it is necessarily connected with auspicious bhavas in the form of cause and effect.
When does yoga begin? - The ātmā has been caught in the flow of birth and death since time immemorial and has been engaged in various activities. Therefore, the question arises that his activities have been considered as yoga. The answer to this is given in the scriptures that as long as the ātmā is filled with mithyātva, is like a warrior, is deluded and moving in the wrong direction, that is, is corrupted from the āramma and the goal, then his activities are praṇidhāna, aviśubha-bhāva: "Praṇidhānaṁ pravṛttiśca, tatha vignajayaśniyā. Siddhiśna viniyogaśca, ete karmaśumāyāmaḥ. || 10 ||" "Etairashayogaiśtu, vinā dharmāya na kriyā. Pratyuta pratyapāyāya, lobhamocriyā yathā || 16 ||"
