After getting rid impurities as a result of yoga practice, the light of knowledge arises. This knowledge culminates in discriminative discernment.

~

Yoga destroys impurities of the body and the mind. These impurities arise from five obstacles, klesas (ignorance, ego, attachment, aversion and clinging to life) When the existence is purified, spiritual wisdom awakens. This understanding based on the reality culminates in viveka, spiritually inclined discrimination. We start to see the world as it truly is.
