The main object of this book is to discuss the science of Yoga in as simple and rational a manner as possible, and also to debunk some of the nonsense that continues to be said and believed on the subject. A must for all those are eager to clarify their conception about Yoga.
Learning and wisdom are superfluities, the surface glitter merely, but it is the heart that is the seat of all power. It is not in the brain but in the heart that the Atman, possessed of knowledge, power, and activity, has its seat.
-Swami Vivekananda
