The passage through sattwa is the ordinary idea of yoga, it is the preparation and purification by the yama-niyama of Patanjali or by other means in other yogas, e.g., saintliness in the bhakti schools, the eightfold path in Buddhism, etc., etc. In our yoga the evolution through sattwa is replaced by the cultivation of equanimity, samatā, and by the psychic transformation.
