Inaction.

Hanging on to something obtained (an object, a desire, a situation, an idea, a belief, a person, a relationship, etc.); the assumption of doership of an action as one’s own. The various forms of attachment are often unconscious.

An attraction or an aversion; wanting to have or not have something; wanting to have something a certain way.

Dharma (singular) refers to Truth, the Real, the situation in the Absolute.

Duties of humankind, religion and nature. ‘Shoulds’ and ‘ought-tos.’

Dharma (singular)

Persistence regardless of doubts appearing in the mind.

The Divine, the Absolute, the Supreme, Absolute Unconditional Love, the Supreme Being (masculine, feminine, neither, both).

The ‘qualities’ (attributes, properties, peculiarities) of nature (sattvas, rajas and tamas) whose interelationship causes action.

Lack of direct experience (direct perception) of Absolute Truth (rather than relative truth, i.e. “your truth, my truth”), of the truth about action, of the distinction between the Embodied One and the Being — the Absolute and the Relative, of the distinction between You and your source of consciousness. False knowledge. (Wisdom, or Enlightenment, is considered to be the opposite of ignorance.)

Anything in the body, feelings or mind that is not natural to them. For example, when there’s pepper in the salt shaker, the salt isn’t pure salt; there’s nothing wrong with pepper, it just doesn’t belong in the salt shaker.

Action. The bondage incurred from ‘good’ and ‘bad’ action is implied, due to the assumption of doership.

Purifying actions that occur spontaneously in the surrendered state.

Literally, ‘the little coiled one.’ The evolutionary force, said to reside at the base of the central energy channel (sushumna) in the body (at the base of the spine). This force, or energy, is functional in small children, and becomes increasingly dormant (‘asleep’) by adulthood in most people. Kundalini is usually symbolized by frightening creatures, such as snakes and dragons, for good reason. The awakening of this power is best left to God. It will ‘awaken’ naturally through the practice of Surrender Meditation.

The process of removing or transforming impurities in the body, feelings and mind, restoring these various aspects of the Being to their natural state. (The natural state of a Being is harmonious with the Embodied One.)

One of the three gunas: very active, intense, passionate. In astrology, ‘cardinal.’

Abandonment of the fruits of action, and non-identification with action as one’s own doing (non-doership).

Spontaneously stopped moving.

Specific spiritual practices, such as meditation, etc.

Complete consciousness; perfect satisfaction; fulfillment through the canceling out of duality; a uniform state of mind; the bliss experienced when all internal tonalities are in perfect relationship with one’s own tonal center.

One of the three gunas: easy, smooth flowingness; tranquility. In astrology, ‘mutable.’

A sense object is anything perceptible through a sense (i.e. sound, sight, touch, taste, smell), whether external or internal (i.e. stored in the mind).

Using the will to resist the natural state, consciously or unconsciously, resulting in the expenditure of significant energy with concomitant depression.

One of the three gunas: slowness, inertia, fixity. In astrology, ‘fixed.’

Opposing action; action that is inharmonious (in opposition) with dharma, the way things really are in the Absolute.

Direct experience of Truth, of the truth about action and yoga, along with the true understanding of the distinction between the Embodied One and the Being, the Absolute and the Relative.

Union; ‘to yoke together’; union with God; the process by which one attains union with God.

Anyone successfully practicing the Highest Action of Yoga. (The word ‘yogini’ is generally used to indicate females. That distinction has been dropped here.)
