Yoga sutra 1.23
īśvara-praṇidhānāt-vā
or through complete devotion to īśvara
This sutra introduces the yoga of surrender (bhakti Yoga). Surrender to the Divine can lead to the same peace of mind that we strive for every day through our practice of yoga. This path is not for everyone. Yoga is not a religion. The next few sutras will talk about īśvaraḥ/the Divine from yoga’s perspective and not God of a particular name, form, or religion.
