Chapter 1 lays the primary foundational stone of clarity & clam. Chapter 2 gives the secondary step of self-analysis and asks us to dive deeply into the study & practice of the first four limbs: Yama, Niyama, Āsana & Prāṇāyāma. Once well established in these limbs, Chapter 3 presents an organized approach to our practice of self-analysis & pursuit of self-realization. Chapter 4, Kaivalya Pāda is filled with poignant insights into the nature of both yoga & bhoga. It reveals the origin of our ignorance and the wonders of overcoming our ignorance. These insights support us in removing the last traces of impurities covering our spiritual heart so we can actualize reach the state of no more outflows.
