Patanjali Yoga Sutras: Vibhuti Pada June 2021

Patanjali Maharishi teaches that the soul, Purusha, has two purposes to accomplish for it to be liberated from suffering, namely, experience (bhoga) and transcendence (apavarga). Experience is a journey through the sufferings of samsara, Yogic Sadhana for purification and finally Samprajnata Samadhi for gaining knowledge of creation, and its difference from consciousness. It is this final quest that is taught in the Vibhuti Pada.
