What is not the body? 

[AlphaAbundance]

@seeking_brilliance Anything outside of the visual outline of color/shape that is thought of as the body, outside of bodily feelings/sensations

[StephenK]

@AlphaAbundance A thought, albeit a persistent one.

A physical body is a vehicle, an astral body is an obstacle, a mental body is a limitation, an emotional body is a lie

[Guru Fat Bastard]

A mini-universe. Microcosm. Yogi's of the distant past knew secrets of the universe through deep states of meditation, that scientists today are still discovering.
Samyama, as Patanjali explains in the Yoga Sutra's, represents the last three steps of his eight-fold path put together:
dharana (concentration), dhyana (meditation), samadhi (union).
 In samyama you become the object of your concentration.The yogi becomes the atom and therefore knows everything about it.
He becomes the universe, or he becomes the light.
