The Yogasutra of Patanjali, constitutes one of the six Darsana of Ancient Indian Philosophy, the sole aim of which is to unravel the mysteries of yoga, give insights into its practices and lead the aspirant from the realization of the individual self to that of the supreme self. The book is divided into four chapters: Chapter-I expounds the grades of action necessary for restraining the exhibitive operations of the mind. Chapter-II deals with the gross impurities that have entered into our mind. Chapter-III pertains to the dissolutionary change of worldly life by taking recourse to Samyama. Chapter-IV explains the working of the three-fold action pertaining to the present, past and future. It reaches how the individual self attains release from the bondage of actions and is merged into Brahman.
