Daśama-prakaraṇam (Karma-yoga) · Verse 2
आत्मा ब्रह्मस्वरूपोऽयं निर्गुणो निर्विकारवान् । चैतन्यमात्रसंवित्तिः सर्वत्र समवस्थितः ॥
ātmā brahmasvarūpo'yaṃ nirguṇo nirvikāravān | caitanyamātrasaṃvittiḥ sarvatra samavasthitaḥ ||
Verse 2 of this chapter on nāḍīs, prāṇa, and the subtle body anatomy continues the systematic exposition that Yājñavalkya delivers to Gārgī.
The realization of Brahman as the sole reality underlies the entire yogic path. Yājñavalkya’s final teaching points to the non-dual vision where the yogī sees nothing separate from the infinite.
This teaching resonates deeply with the later haṭha yoga corpus — texts like the Haṭhapradīpikā and Śivasaṃhitā draw extensively on Yājñavalkya’s framework, often elaborating rather than inventing.
