Answer 2

Answer: there are 4 chapters in the Patanjali yoga sutra

Explanation:

Patanjali yoga sutra has been divided into 4 chapters. They are as follows:

• Samadhi Pada: Samadhi refers to a state of direct and reliable perception (pramana) where the yogi's self-identity is absorbed into pure consciousness, thereby collapsing the categories of witness, witness, and witnessed.
• Sadhana Padam: Here the author outlines two systems of yoga: Kriyā yoga and Ashtanga yoga (eightfold or eightfold yoga).
• Kaivalya Pada: Kaivalya literally translates as "isolation", but as used in the sutras it means emancipation or liberation and is used where other texts often use the term moksha (liberation).

Patanjali defines yoga as having eight components which are as follows:

1. Yamas: Yamas are ethical vows in the Yogic tradition and can be thought of as moral imperatives Commentaries on these teachings by Patanjali state how and why each of the above self-restraints helps in the personal growth of an individual.

2. Niyama: Niyama includes virtuous habits, behavior, and observance

3. Asana: An asana is a meditative position that one can hold for a period of time, remaining relaxed, stable, comfortable, and still. Patanjali does not list any specific asana, other than the brief suggestion of "a posture that can be held comfortably and still."

4. Pranayama: Pranayama consists of two Sanskrit words prāṇa (breath) and ayama (restraint). This is done in several ways, by inhaling and then pausing the exhalation for a certain time, exhaling and then pausing the inhaling for a certain time, slowing down the inhalation and exhalation, consciously changing the time/length of the breath (deep, short breathing).

5. Pratyahara: Pratyahara means not receiving any input or information from the sense organs. It is the process of withdrawing sensory experience from external objects. It is a step of self-extraction and abstraction.

6. Dharaṇa: Dharana as the sixth part of yoga is keeping the mind on a certain inner state, object, or theme of the mind. Fixation of the mind means single-pointed focus, without drifting of the mind and without jumping from one subject to another.

7. Dhyana: Dhyana contemplates, and thinks about what Dharana has focused on. If in the sixth branch of yoga one concentrates on the personal deity, Dhyana is its contemplation. Dhyana is inextricably linked with Dharana, one leads to the other. Dharana is a state of mind, and Dhyana is a process of mind.

8. Samadhi: Samadhi is oneness with the object of meditation. During the eighth part of yoga, there is no distinction between the actor of meditation, the act of meditation, and the object of meditation.
