Yoga is the pacification, concentration and complete focus of the mind's fluctuating actioities.
Patanjali defines Yoga as a particular state of the activities of the mind, which are usually in fluctuation. Yoga is the complete orientation (nirodha) of the mental activities (citta-o!rtti-s) towards a state of harmony, clarity and total
awareness.
At the highest stage of nirodha, all fluctuations have stopped.
