About this book
The author's note speaks of an expectation that the volume will convey to the reader the essential features of the Yoga system of thought, and leaves it to readers to judge how far this will be realized. The author's note thanks a friend, Mr. Douglas Ainslie, for the numerous corrections and suggestions regarding the English style that he was pleased to make throughout the body of the manuscript. The note says many ideas of Indian philosophy are such that an exact English rendering of them often becomes hopelessly difficult.
The text says that for a Yogin every phenomenal state of existence is painful, and that a Yogin knows attachment to sensual and other objects can only give temporary pleasure, for it is sure to be soon turned into pain. The text says enjoyment can never bring satisfaction, but only involves a man further and further in sorrows. A list of terms with page numbers includes, among others, Cessation, Change, Clairaudience and Cleanliness.
