Yoga Sutra(Aforismele Yoga) ale lui Patanjali este o carte ce cuprinde 196 de sutra(lit.:"perle",reguli; instructiuni concise;aforisme),repartizate in patru Pada(lit.:"picior",podium, baza, platforma,parte):

Yoga Sutras(Centering Rules) is the book in which Patanjali (II-IV B.C.) has transmitted to us a much older tradition about discovering God and the Inner Heaven in order to remember our true identity. Alignment Rules of Yoga Sutras belongs to a tradition in which is indicated the way of alignment used by our ancestors and by civilizations that has preceded us here on Earth,to gain access to the Information Data Bank of the Universe and to the divine powers (siddhis; the unfoldment of psychic powers),to a level far beyond our present level of achievements of science and technology. Patanjali's book speaks about the science and technology of trance and its aplications: holographic functioning of our mind,about the superconductivity state of the biological mind-crystal , achieved through the decrease of the temperature and agitation in the  mind,about biological levitation,teleportation (matter transfer from one place in the universe to another),invisibility,about bio-telecommunications, invulnerability, defensive shield and many others..The superiority of our present achievements of science and technology disappears in front of these magic powers rendered accesible to each man who has realised the alignment or the centering into the source of the manifested universe.All over the Earth are still present legends,traditions and children stories or tales in which are described heros, saints, gods and highly advanced galactic beings that all possess the divine the powers of direct knowledge and action upon the manifested reality.Remember that a folklor tale is  way used by older traditions to by-pass the censorship and the fundamentalism of the new institutional religions.Patanjali's book named Yoga Sutras(Centering Rules) contains 196 sutra(pearls,rules,instructions, aphorism)which are divided into four chapters(pada):

Book IV: Portion on Liberation or Absolute Independence (Kaivalya Pada)

Livre 4:Sur l'Etre- en lui- même ou Libération/Kaivalya-Pâda (voie de l'esseulement)/

Freedom/Sobre el aislamiento/

Partea referitoare la Izolare(Eliberare)] indica pe parcursul a 34 de sutra cea mai insemnata capacitate divina(kaivalya) care este si obiectivul strategic al practicii alinierii(Yoga);reamintiti-va ideea ca daca ajungem la un lucru asta e posibil fiindca  acel lucru deja exista in noi in stare potentiala;"Portion on Liberation"  is a chapter that contains 34 sutra in which is described the strategic  goal of yoga and the most important of divine power(kaivalya);remember the idea that whatever happens is essentially within us.
