Yoga Sutras: Book I: 1-4 there is nothing to bind you

yoga is complete mastery over the mind. if you can control the rising of the mind into ripples, you will experience yoga. how then does anyone achieve yoga? the world is a collection of our thoughts and mental attitude, a projection of such items; we shouldnt put so much stress on outward things if that is the case. then there is nothing wrong with the world. you can make it a heaven or hell based on your approach; control your mind and you have controlled everything.

yoga is based on self-reformation, self-control, and self-adjustment.

“as the mind so the man; bondage or liberation are in your own mind.”
