various elevations, different parts of the ladder are known by different names. But all in all, the complete ladder is called  yoga  and may be divided into three parts, namely  jñāna-yoga ,  dhyāna-yoga  and  bhakti-yoga . The beginning of the ladder is called the  yogārurukṣa  stage, and the highest rung is called  yogārūḍha .
Concerning the eightfold  yoga  system, attempts in the beginning to enter into meditation through regulative principles of life and practice of different sitting postures (which are more or less bodily exercises) are considered fruitive material activities. All such activities lead to achieving perfect mental equilibrium to control the senses. When one is accomplished in the practice of meditation, he ceases all disturbing mental activities.
A Kṛṣṇa conscious person is, however, situated from the beginning on the platform of meditation because he always thinks of Kṛṣṇa. And, being constantly engaged in the service of Kṛṣṇa, he is considered to have ceased all material activities.
