From the Introduction:"The great sage Patanjali presented for all seekers of light and truth a unique book on the philosophy and science of yoga. The book is generally known as the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. Sutras is the plural from of the singular noun sutra, a Sanskrit word meaning thread. The implication here is that, just as the pearls of a beautiful necklace are held together by a central thread, even so all the ideals, concepts, principles, techniques and methods of yoga are coordinated with and guided by the central truth of God and the realization of God. In this little volume I present my translation of the first chapter only, the chapter on Samadhi, realization. In the truest sense, the first chapter embodies the spiritual essence of this sacred scripture."
