Explanation:

In Hindu philosophy, yoga is the name of one of the six orthodox (which accept the testimony of Vedas) philosophical schools.Karel Werner, author of Yoga And Indian Philosophy, believes that the process of systematization of yoga which began in the middle and Yoga Upanishads culminated with the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali.
Yoga essentially consists of meditative practices culminating in attaining a state of consciousnessfree from all modes of active or discursivethought, and of eventually attaining a state where consciousness is unaware of any object external to itself.
