Traditionally attributed to Patañjali, this collection from ancient India looks beyond postures. It presents suffering as a confusion between who we are and what passes through our thoughts, then sets out a path toward freedom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts four chapters trace that path: Samadhi explores deep absorption; Sadhana turns to practice and the roots of suffering; Vibhuti examines concentration and warns against distracting powers; Kaivalya returns to freedom. These compact teachings ask for close attention. Their few words open large questions about conduct, meditation, and the difference between the seer and the mind.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eInside this book\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStillness as a starting point\u003c\/strong\u003e – Meet a definition of yoga that places the mind, rather than postures, at its center.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe roots of suffering\u003c\/strong\u003e – Explore the five root afflictions through which the text explains suffering and the need for practice.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEight limbs of practice\u003c\/strong\u003e – Follow a path that begins with conduct toward others and leads toward deep absorption.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAttention without distraction\u003c\/strong\u003e – Discover why the text treats powers along the meditative path as distractions, not the goal.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe question of freedom\u003c\/strong\u003e – Consider the text's distinction between the seer and the thoughts that pass through the mind.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003ePerfect for yoga students, meditators, and curious readers who enjoy compact, demanding ideas and want to explore the foundations of practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOpen the first page now and give these short teachings your close attention.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Library of Alexandria Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59534601355612,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1027\/9442\/8764\/files\/01639_en_ebook-front_c20.jpg?v=1792174943","url":"https:\/\/libraryofalexandria.com\/es\/products\/yoga-sutras-de-patanjali","provider":"The Library of Alexandria","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
