Toward the end of his comments on the Yoga Sutras, Shankara makes a valuable remark:
“There can be no lamplight unless the oil, wick and a flame are brought together.” The idea is
that the successful practice of yoga is not a haphazard or capricious matter. All the elements
must be brought together. When united and complete, success is the result.
Since the classical Indian texts on Yoga are the basis of this chapter, the word “yoga” is
used throughout. But it should be realized that the word “meditation” is equally applicable, for
in ancient India yoga and meditation were synonymous.
