The Yoga-Sutras is one of the most important texts in the age-old Yoga Philosophy. Literally it means “Guide” or “Main Thread” of Yoga. Even today, it has not lost its relevance.
In a nutshell, the yoga sutras contain among other things, a clear understanding of how the human mind works, and begins by explaining the processes in the mind that happen as a result of the senses. For most people this process happens so quickly that many aren’t aware it’s taking place. This can also be applied to emotions too, when people feel hurt, it can transmute to anger without them knowing, they simply respond with anger, as if they were on a rollercoaster with no way to stop the emotional flow. You can see this happen in people when you know what to look for.
Simply put, the yoga sutras can help us to understand our own nature, and once we understand… we can take control and be more conscious.
