The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali: The Book of the Spiritual Man by Patañjali
"The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali: The Book of the Spiritual Man" by Patañjali is a compilation of Sanskrit aphorisms compiled in the early centuries CE. Drawing from ancient traditions including Samkhya, Buddhism, and older yoga practices, this foundational text systematizes the path to spiritual liberation through concentrated awareness. The work outlines the famous eight-limbed practice—including posture, breath control, and meditation—leading toward samadhi, a state where the mind becomes still and pure consciousness
can be discerned from the material world. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
