Stanowisko
The Yoga Sutra defines yoga as the stilling of the fluctuations of the mind (citta-vritti-nirodha). It builds on Samkhya: suffering stems from confusing the seer, pure consciousness (purusha), with the seen – mind and nature. Practice and detachment loosen this confusion; the eight limbs lead from ethical restraints and observances, posture and breath control, through withdrawal of the senses, concentration and meditation, to absorption (samadhi). The goal is the isolation (kaivalya) of consciousness. Unlike classical Samkhya, the text admits a special self, Ishvara, untouched by affliction, as an object of devotion; its vocabulary shows close contact with Buddhist thought. Vivekananda’s Raja Yoga made it the canonical text of modern yoga.
Życie i kontekst
Patanjali is known only as the compiler of the Yoga Sutra. Tradition identifies him with the grammarian Patanjali of the 2nd century BCE and even with an incarnation of the serpent Shesha; most modern scholars reject the identification with the grammarian. The date of the text is disputed: estimates range from the last centuries BCE to the 5th century CE, and many scholars now favour about 325–425 CE.
