The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, the Book of the Spiritual Man An Interpretation (Classic Reprint)

by Patanjali.

Excerpt from The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, "the Book of the Spiritual Man" An Interpretation The teaching of the East is, that all these are true powers overlaid by false desires; that though in manifestation psy chical, they are in essence spiritual; that the psychical man is the veil and prophecy of the spiritual man. The purpose of life, therefore, is the realising of that prophecy; the unveiling of the immortal man; the birth of the spiritual from the psychical, whereby we enter our divine in heritance and come to inhabit Eternity. This is, indeed, sal vation, the purpose of all true religion, in all times. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
