The text presents all the disciplines of Haṭha Yoga—āsana, prāṇāyāma, mudrā, bandha, and the awakening of kuṇḍalinī—not as ends in themselves, but as means to a higher spiritual consummation. That consummation is described as Rāja Yoga or samādhi, the state in which the mind’s fluctuations are stilled and consciousness abides in undistracted absorption. In this sense, Haṭha Yoga is portrayed as a preparatory and supportive path, clearing the way for the more interior realization associated with Rāja Yoga. The emphasis falls not on physical prowess or occult powers, but on inner transformation and the refinement of the entire psycho-energetic system.

Through the purification of the nāḍīs and the awakening and upward movement of kuṇḍalinī śakti, the practitioner is led toward the cessation of mental modifications and the dawning of non-dual awareness. This process culminates in samādhi, where duality falls away and there is direct realization of the Self and its identity with the absolute reality, often expressed as the union of individual consciousness with universal consciousness. Such realization is equated with liberation from the cycle of birth and death, a state of complete self-knowledge and freedom. The text thus frames all its physical and energetic methods as indispensable stepping stones toward this highest attainment, where one abides in effortless absorption in the supreme consciousness.
