Patanjali's Yoga SutrasThe Yoga Sutras of Patanjali is a foundational text of classical yoga philosophy. Through brief aphorisms, it presents the nature of mind, the causes of suffering, the disciplines of meditation, and the path to samadhi and liberation. Although distinct from Advaita Vedanta in metaphysical outlook, it has deeply influenced Hindu spiritual practice and remains central to the study of meditation and inner discipline.
