This is a book on the philosophy of Yoga, which has been systematized and organized by Maharisi Patanjali into 196 aphorisms called the Yogasutras. The ultimate aim of yogasutras is to help one attain enlightenment through the path of Yoga, wherein health is a by product. Study of the Yoga-Sūtras can be of great value as it reveals the commonalities with their own practices and sheds light upon the universality of Yoga practice as a means to attain wisdom.
For the philosophically minded reader, these Sūtras are a highly informative resource on the nature of Consciousness, the emergence of natural and mental phenomena, the mind’s modes and its nature, the power and efficacy of compassion and kindness, the flow of time, causality, and the ultimate meaning of human embodiment, as espoused by the Yoga tradition of ancient India.
For a reader who has only just begun his or her study of Yoga and who has not yet had the fortune of studying it with an accomplished teacher, it is advised to take a Sūtra or set of Sūtras and contemplate or meditate deeply upon its content, until its meaning is understood in the clarity of introspection.
Looking within and allowing the mind to settle naturally without strain renders it peaceful and calm. Only when the mind is calm can it begin to sense the profound reality concealed in its own depth. This is the essence of Yoga.
The legacy of these traditions/Yogasutras continues to inspire and enlighten, awaken and pacify the minds of suffering beings. The goal described by Maharṣi Patañjali is the ultimate meaning (puruṣārtha) and goal of all existence. Having attained it, a person is considered ‘kuśala’ (fortunate), a state which other traditions describe as ‘kṛta-kṛtya’ (having achieved what was to be achieved).
Whatever a person’s religious or philosophical background may be, even if he is an atheist and materialist who accepts only the existence of the physical body, if he practises Yoga he will attain accomplishment. Thus Yoga is ultimately beyond the confines of any specific tradition or view.
