Ichhāyoga, Shastrayoga and Samarthyayoga are also divisions of Yoga. The first of these is Ichhayoga where one though knowing well and already desirous of performing religious practices, is lazy. (The desire of advancing on the way to spiritual good is Ichhàyoga ).
6 It is called Shastrayoga where the degree of right belief and that of right knowledge are higher than what it is in the Ichha yoga, and where laziness is destroyed and where the practice of religious ceremonies is in conformity with sacred scriptures according to one's capacity. .
The wise persons call it Sämarthya-yoga which, perceptible only to such intuitional perception as is unattianable even with scriptural knowledge, is achieved by his pre-eminent spiritual exercises by the great sage conversant with the practice of Yoga through scriptures.
8 All the special means for the achievement of. Perfection are not capable of cognition through scriptures. If it be so, Omniscience can be obtained by the studies of scriptures only, but it is otherwise. So this Samarthya yoga is connected with intuitional knowledge [ Prätibba-jnana)
