36 Sri Caitanya-caritamrta [Madhya-lila, Ch. 23
“When one meets Krsna directly, that is called yoga.”

In the transcendental mellows of neutrality and servitorship, there are similar
divisions of yoga and viyoga, but they are not variegated. The divisions of yoga
and viyoga are always existing in the five mellows. However, in the transcen-
dental mellows of friendship and paternal affection, there are many varieties of
yoga and viyoga. The varieties of yoga are thus described:

yogo ‘pi kathitah siddhis
tustih sthitir iti tridha
Yoga (connection) is of three types—success, satisfaction and permanence. The
divisions of ayoga (separation) are thus described:
utkanthitam viyogas cety
ayogo ‘pi dvidhocyate
Thus ayoga has two divisions—longing and separation.
