== Stages in Yoga Practice ==
In Yoga, Sattva is the higher quality that allows spiritual growth to occur. With reference to this quality Yoga practice is described as comprising of two stages viz. the development of sattva and transcendence of sattva. Development of sattva means purification of body and mind. Transcendence of sattva means going beyond the body and mind to our true Self beyond manifestation. Without development of sattva, one cannot transcend it. Therefore, developing sattva or purity in body and mind, including the emotions is imperative in the path of seeking any further enlightenment. And development of sattva occurs through right diet, physical purification, control of the senses, control of the mind, mantra and devotion while, transcendence of sattva comes from higher meditation practices.<ref>David Frawley (1999), [https://archive.org/details/yogaayurvedaselfhealingandselfrealizationdavidfrawley_757_/mode/2up Yoga & Ayurveda], Wisconsin: Lotus Press.</ref>
