Patanjali's Yogasutra by Ralph Skuban

The most important foundational text of spiritual wisdom.

The almost 200 verses of Patanjali's Yogasutra describe in incomparable density, logic and precision the path of development of our consciousness, which is called yoga. Yoga is both a path and a goal: as a goal, it stands for the state of self-realisation or enlightenment; as a path, it refers to the many methods that lead there.

In four chapters we learn how to attain inner freedom, what our daily spiritual practice can look like, which inner exercises - concentration and meditation - bring about the transformation of our consciousness, and how we finally learn to let go of all that again in order to become truly free. Undogmatic and without moral-religious prescriptions, the Yogasutra shows us the way to liberation from the shackles of the ego-consciousness.
