Yoga (school of philosophy)

: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason Birch

Identification (with a particular element) is denoted by the Sanskrit term Tanmayat膩, according to verse 13.7cd-8 of the M膩lin墨vijayottaratantra.鈥擜ccordingly, 鈥淚f one attains identification (迟补苍尘补测补迟腻) [with the water element, then], within six months steadiness is achieved. Within three years one attains gnostic vision of the water-realm. In the motionless division [of the Sakala contemplation] also, one is conjoined to the reality level of water [and becomes] in all respects similar to water鈥�.

Shaiva philosophy

: archive.org: Chittanubodha Shastram By Bhaskara Kantha

The Identification of the Self with the body leads to suffering (and hence arises the necessity to uplift the soul from its bondage), according to the Citt膩nubodha艣膩stra by R膩janaka Bh膩skaraka峁囜弓ha: an 18th century text dealing with aspects of Kashmir 艢aivism such as the Pratyabhij帽膩 (lit. 鈥渄ivine recognition鈥�) philosophical branch.鈥擳he purport of the Citt膩nubodha艣膩stra is to awaken the mind and to make it realize the truth of its own nature. [...] In the second chapter we find an exposition of all the kinds of subjects (辫谤补尘腻迟腻), from deha辫谤补尘腻迟腻 to 艣奴nya辫谤补尘腻迟腻, which correspond to the different states such as the waking state which is established in the body, the dream state in the intellect (buddhi) and deep sleep in the vital principle (辫谤腻峁嘺). The identification of the Self with the body leads to suffering and hence arises the necessity to uplift the soul from its bondage.
