' To Master Yoga '...

It is not enough to master yoga,

as this term is ordinarily understood.

Something beyond it is also needed.

Hence one of the texts belonging to this teaching,

the Lankavatara Sutra,

says of those who have perfected themselves in yoga:

"When they reach the eighth degree they become so drunk with the bliss of inner peace that they do not grasp that they are still in the sphere of separateness and that their insight into reality is not yet perfect."
