Samyoga

Definition: Conjunction; the association or union, particularly of Purusha (consciousness) with Prakrti (nature), resulting in embodied existence.

Insights: Samyoga refers to the union of the true Self (Purusha) with nature (Prakrti), giving rise to individual experience and embodiment. This conjunction is seen as the root of bondage; liberation is achieved by discerning their difference and dissolving mistaken identification.
