In the language of the Hindus _Is a_[176] signifies “lord,” and without Iśa all is but _jíva_,[177] that is “casualties;” in their language _jiva_ means “life;” they hold Is a to be the maker of the whole world, and the creator of all the elements; his holy being is free from care, sickness, and want, and placed out of the circle of work and agency; that is, that this holy being neither wants nor urges any religious rites, such as ablution and the like; his knowledge soars above and comprehends all being; he is the Lord, and none besides him invested with supreme power; death and pain never approach his existence, which has no limits. _Jíva_, “life,” they call what is in the fetters of cares, in the bonds of infirmities, under the pressure of pain, and in the prison of works and doings, and subjected to the control of others, without command over itself. This life is in truth not material nor corporeal; it is by ignorance only that it is thought to be one with the body; and the body is supposed by them to be revolving in the circle of material forms: by the necessity of times and seasons, life abandons the works of the body, and passes into another frame: and in this manner it migrates. Without the _abhásayóga_,[178] the soul cannot be freed of the bonds of the material world, and from the prison of what is corporeal, and _yóga_,[179] in the language of the learned Hindus, signifies “union,” or “acquisition;” and _abhyása_,[180] “the dominion of the eternal sphere,” that is, possessing the enjoyment of a desired object; and the purport of the _yóga_ is, that the heart be constantly kept in the remembrance of God, and that no foreign object be permitted to enter into that Jerusalem, that is, the house of God. The professor of this union with the desired object reckons eight parts, which are: 1. _yama_;[181] 2. _niyáma_;[182] 3. _ásana_;[183] 4. _pránáyáma_;[184] 5. _pratyáhára_;[185] 6. _dháraná_;[186] 7. _dhyána_;[187] 8. _samadháraná_.[188] Yama is composed of five parts: the first is _Ahinsá_,[189] that is, doing injury to nothing, and to kill no other but the great wild beasts; 2. _Satyam_,[190] or “truth;” 3. _Astéyam_,[191] that is, not stealing nor robbing; 4. _Brahma tchárí_,[192] or to keep away from women, and all intercourse with them, and to sleep upon the bare ground; 5. _Apragraha_,[193] which is, not to ask any thing from any body, and never to take but what is brought unasked. _Niyáma_, the second of the eight parts, is divided also into five kinds: the first, _tápasa_,[194] that is, “devout austerity;” 2.
