Chapter 6 continues the investigation of the yoga sādhanā by focusing on the inner practices and their eventual ‘supports’. It begins with a section on the role of cannabis among ascetics and continues with the role of mantras. It then focuses on the practices of dhāraṇā (concentration), dhyāna (describing some important practices such as jap and kuṇḍalinī awakening) and samādhi. The role of karma in the quest for mokṣa (liberation) is also questioned.
