Yoga Sutra 23
Sutra 23 The conjunction of the seer with the seen is for the seer to discover his own true nature.

Yoga Sutra 22
Sutra 22 The relationship with nature ceases for emancipated beings, its purpose having been fulfilled, but its processes continue to affect others. In other words, nature (sin, ego, intelligence, senses of perception, etc…) does not stop around us even when we are not being affected. I have not experienced this emancipation or union with God.…
Yoga Sutra 21
Sutra 21 Nature and intelligence exist solely to serve the seer’s true purpose, emancipation. When Eve took that bite from the apple and Adam followed they broke Gods law and God put them out.

Yoga Sutra 15
Sutra 15 The wise man knows that owning to fluctuations, the qualities of nature, and subliminal impressions, even pleasant experiences are tinged with sorrow, and he keeps aloof of them.

Yoga Sutra 14
Sutra 14 According to our good, bad or mixed actions, the quality of our life, its span, and the nature of birth experienced as being pleasant or painful.
