PURPORT
ayoga-yogavetasya
prabhedau kathitav ubhau sangabhavo harer dhirair
ayoga iti kathyate ayoge tvan-manaskatvam tad-gunady-anusandhayah tat-prapty-upaya-cintadyah sarvesam kathitah kriyah Learned scholars in the science of bhakti-yoga say that when there is an absence of association with the Supreme Personality of Godhead, separation takes place. In the stage of ayoga (separation), the mind is filled with Krsna consciousness and is fully absorbed in thoughts of Krsna. In that stage, the devotee searches out the transcendental qualities of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. It is said that in that stage of separation, all the devotees in the different mellows are always active in thinking of ways to attain Krsna's association.
The word yoga (connection) is thus described:
krsnena sangamo yas tu
sa yoga iti kirtyate In the transcendental mellows of neutrality and servitorship, there are similar divisions of yoga and viyoga, but they are not variegated. The divisions of yoga and viyoga are always existing in the five mellows. However, in the transcendental mellows of friendship and paternal affection, there are many varieties of yoga and viyoga. The varieties of yoga are thus described:
yogo 'pi kathitah siddhis
tustih sthitir iti tridha Yoga (connection) is of three types-success, satisfaction and permanence. The divisions of ayoga (separation) are thus described:
utkanthitam viyogas cety
ayogo 'pi dvidhocyate Thus ayoga has two divisions-longing and separation.
