De quoi il s'agit
Rāja yoga (1896) : les Yoga Sūtra de Patañjali avec commentaire.
Contexte et histoire
Le livre qui a apporté le yoga en Occident, et qui explique ce qu'il était avant de devenir un exercice physique : la maîtrise du mental, huit membres, et le samādhi au bout. Toute la diffusion du yoga au XXe siècle part de là.

Witnesses are not wanting in modern times to attest the fact of such events, even in societies living under the full blaze of modern science. The vast mass of such evidence is unreliable, as coming from ignorant, superstitious, or fraudulent persons. In many instances the so-called miracles are imitations. But what do they imitate? It is not the sign of a candid and scientific mind to throw overboard anything without proper investigation. Surface scientists, unable to explain the various extraordinary mental phenomena, strive to ignore their very existence. They are, therefore, more culpable than those who think that their prayers are answered by a being, or beings, above the clouds, or than those who believe that their petitions will make such beings change the course of the universe. The latter have the excuse of ignorance, or at least of a false system of education in their childhood, which has taught them to depend upon such beings for help, and this dependence has no become a part of their degenerate nature. The former have no such excuse.
