'According to Upasana Khand of the Vedas we are told:- "yoga" is stopping the fluctuations of consciousness. The ultimate aim is this, that by the practice of having stopped the fluctuations of the inner self, to experience the Supreme form of the Self. Calm without a ripple in any part of the pool of water, that manner a person can see his own face. That really is the method, stopping the fluctuatations of the consciousness is really giving a clear reflection of the imperishable Self in the instrument of inner vision. This indeed is "darshan" (sight) of the "atma" (self or soul).'
