Yama
Rules of moral self-control in conduct .Yama is, more largely, any self-discipline by which the rajasic egoism and its passions and desires in the human being are conquered and quieted into perfect cessation. The object is to create a moral calm, a void of the passions, and so prepare for the death of egoism in the rajasic human being. [1]
Yoga
A plunge into all the profundities of the soul. Union with the Divine - a union either transcendental (above the universe) or cosmic (universal) or individual or, as in our yoga, all three together.[2] [3]
Yoga is in essence the union of the soul with the immortal being and consciousness and delight of the Divine effected through the human nature with a result of development into the divine nature of being, whatever that may be, so far as we can conceive it in mind and realise it in spiritual activity. [4]
All yoga is in its nature an attempt and an arriving at unity with the Supreme. [5]
