The means to liberation is uninterrupted discriminative discernment.

Viveka-khyāti is discriminative knowledge, the ability to distinguish between puruṣa and prakṛti at all times.

Aviplavā means “without fluctuation,” “uninterrupted.” Occasional glimpses of clarity are not enough; discernment must be constant.

Hānopāya is the means to hāna, the abandonment of suffering, liberation.

This sutra is crucial: it reveals that the path is to cultivate a discriminative awareness that does not waver. It is not a single event, but a stable transformation of perception.

Yoga prepares the conditions for this discernment to arise and stabilize until it becomes natural and unshakeable.
