==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. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/23/rajayoga#p5</ref>
==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.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/23/self-consecration#p10</ref> <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/ascent-and-descent#p25</ref>
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.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/24/the-delight-of-the-divine#p1</ref>
All yoga is in its nature an attempt and an arriving at unity with the Supreme. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/23/hathayoga#p1</ref>
==Yogamaya==
It is the supreme Godhead who manifests both containing self and its contained phenomena by the power of his spiritual consciousness. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/sabcl/13/the-divine-truth-and-way#p3</ref>
For the Purushottama within is not readily manifest to any and every being; he conceals himself in a thick cloud of darkness or a bright cloud of light, utterly he envelops and wraps himself in his Yogamaya. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/19/the-possibility-and-purpose-of-avatarhood#p13</ref>
==Yogi and Sadhaka==
The Yogi is one who is already established in realisation—the sadhak is one who is getting or still trying to get realisation.
A sadhaka is one who is doing sadhana to attain union with the divine consciousness. A Yogi is one who is already living in some kind of oneness with the Divine, not in the ordinary consciousness.<ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/experiences-and-realisations#p8,p9</ref>
