Description
It may seem convenient that before entering into the details of the work I should give brief outline of the Yoga System of Patanjali at the very beginning of the work, which I hope may be of some use to the beginners. An Aristotle or a Patanjali may not make any direct mention of the arguments which led them to a dogmatic assertion of their theories, but for a reader who intends to understand them thoroughly it is absolutely necessary that he should read them in the light as far as possible of the inferred presuppositions and inner’ arguments of their minds; In this way alone that he can put himself in the same line of thinking with the thinker he is willing to follow and can grasp him to the fullest extent.
