 | | In Classical Yoga, the "Lord" (ishvara) is said to incline toward the yogin who strives for perfection. | | | This is one of the great magical attainments (siddhi) by which the yogin is said to gain mastery over the manifest and unmanifest aspects of the cosmos, similar to the supremacy of the "Lord" (ishvara). | | | According to an ancient Vedanta doctrine, this is the lowest or coarsest of the five "envelopes" (kosha) covering the transcendental Self; i.e., the physical body. |
