The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali
Sutra 1.2 states: “Yogas citta vritti nirodhah,” \ “Yoga is the cessation of the fluctuations of the mind.”
This sutra stresses the importance of being in control of the mind and being able to recognise that the mind isn't always allowing you to see what the truth actually is. To encapsulate the whole teaching early in the discourse Patanjali does this in the first few sutras, giving you the essence of what’s to come:
“Yoga is the progressive settling of the mind into silence. When the mind is settled, we are established in our own essential state, which is unbounded consciousness. Our essential nature is usually overshadowed by the activity of the mind”
The Yoga Sutras are a practical textbook to guide your spiritual journey of remembering who you really are. It was written in roughly 400 C.E., and is regarded by many as the basis of yoga philosophy. "separated into four padas (chapters): Samadhi, Sadhana, Vibhuti, and Kaivalya to "provide depth and practical wisdom to help yogis and yoginis explore the central meaning of yoga.
