Viyoga is the tentacle feeling separate from the octopus.

The analogy of the embodied soul jIvAtma feeling disconnected from the paramAtma was explained as the tentacle feeling separate from the octopus due to avidyA, spiritual ignorance. From this viewpoint, other tentacles are also seen as distinct and separate manifestations. Therefore, viyoga is the tentacle feeling separate from octopus. Yoga is needed as long as viyoga exists. When yoga becomes permanent, that is sahaja samAdhi.
