The Essence of the Yoga Sutras Geer David Geer

The Yoga Sutras of Patañjali present a brilliant system for the direct experience of freedom. When the study and practice of Yoga increase and identity with our thoughts begins to diminish, the assurance of our true, natural state awakens. The path of Yoga then becomes established as the principle that guides our actions and serves as the basis for the removal of doubt, the elimination of suffering, and the fulfillment of inner transformation.

The Essence of the Yoga Sutras is an excellent resource for anyone who wants to deepen their knowledge and appreciation of Patañjali's aphorisms.
