By yoga one obtains knowledge. Yoga is the earmark of the Law. Yoga is the highest austerity. Therefore he should always be engaged in yoga practice (Vasistha-Dharmasutra 25.5-7)
This is a different signification of the yoga sign. Yoga – even if signified as an austerity -is claimed to be much more than austerities and recitation. Yoga leads to some unique but not further detailed states’ similar to the One’. Yoga yields knowledge’ which marks a significant difference, as only this knowledge leads to the state of the One’. This reminds us of the discussions in the Upanishads, where it was also often claimed that knowledge in one way or another played a significant role in the process of yogic liberation. In this sutra, however, yoga practice does not need to be guided by Brahmin doctrines and teaching. Rather it seems that yoga practice by itself generates a kind of necessary knowledge, which other practices -like austerities and chanting – are not capable of producing. So we can conclude that the yoga sign is here ascribed high status, but we do not know if this yoga knowledge is informed by Gnostic intellectualism or Gnostic mystic discourses.
So there is no agreement among the four Dharma-sutras about the importance and use-value of yoga. What is clear to the reader however is that we get very little technical insight into yoga. But the genre points to a new aspect of symbolic meaning ascribed to yoga.
