Yogasūtra II.26 - viveka-khyātiḥ-aviplavā hāna-upāyaḥ
How do we achieve freedom?
The limitless clarity of discrimination [between the Seer and the seen] is the means to the goal [which is the disappearance of the intimate union between the Seer and the seen].
Discriminative clarity is called Viveka, a state where there is a clear realization not only of the true nature of Prakṛti and Puruṣa, but also that their relationship exists only to fulfill a purpose - the Dharma of the Puruṣa.
