| | Patanjali doesn't say that "correct" views or right knowledge are all "bad" or afflictive (klishta), only that such can and often does get in the way obstructing the complete realization of yoga. | | | Later in Pada II of the Yoga Sutras Patanjali presents the practice of pratyhara (the fifth limb of astanga yoga) which is designed to remediate the dualistic limitations of pratyaksha (or mind grasping onto empty objects). | | | Patanjali is profoundly telling us that yoga sadhana is a search for truth -- where theory and belief are derived from our own direct experience. |

| | In the second chapter of the Yoga Sutras, Patanjali states significantly in verse 16 that “the sorrow which is yet to come is to be discarded.” (2) This future sorrow is avoided because of the choices one makes now, thus creating a future in which suffering is lessened. | | | Since all actions have consequences, Patanjali urges the yoga practitioner to choose the consequences which follow from practicing the ethical precepts or yamas. | | | By way of background, the doctor and grammarian Patanjali is credited with authoring the Yoga Sutras, believed to have been written some two centuries before the life of Jesus Christ. |
