viṣayavatī

viṣayavatī

Or fusion and steadiness of the mind is produced  
by the operation of the mento-emotional energy 
Towards an object which is different to but similar to a normal thing; 
This refers to the supernatural and or spiritual perception, which is developed in the psyche of a yogi, especially in his buddhi organ through the curbing of the imagination faculty. Then the yogi sees objects which are not of the gross and subtle material energy but which are superphysical and spiritual. Perceiving such objects brings steadiness of mind and fusion of the attention 
of the yogi into the higher level of reality, the chit akash. Viṣaya is a normal sense object of this world, something to which our Normal senses are usually attracted to, either for attaching itself or for 
repulsing itself from. Vatī means something that is similar, something like that. Objects in the sky of consciousness are also objects but they do not 
cause the self to be degraded as the objects in this world do. 

The term pravṛtti means operation, for active function. Even though the mastership of yoga is to stop the conventional operation of the mental and 
emotional energies, still this means that they must be stopped on this side of 
existence. Hence the functioning of that energy for perception of spiritual 
objects causes the fusion of the mental-emotional force to a higher reality.
