The yogi seeks a deeper life which knows what?

The Yogi defines the Self as the essence of all---the rasa. It is a state or an experience deeper than art. The Yogi's vision goes beyond the outer forms and focuses on the hidden essential values of water, fire, air and ether. This will eventually lead to Purusha or the immortal Self.

a phrase from a poem by ralph waldo emerson about the battle of lexington and concord. emerson's words read, “here once the embattled farmers stood / and fired the shot heard round the world.”
