A person is said to be established in self-realization and is called a yogi [or mystic] when he is fully satisfied by virtue of acquired knowledge and realization. Such a person is situated in transcendence and is self-controlled. He sees everything—whether it be pebbles, stones or gold—as the same.

The yogi who is satisfied by knowledge and its realization, who is steady as a mountain peak, who has mastered the senses, and who sees equal value in a clod of earth, a stone, and gold — such a person is called truly "in yoga."
