**The Greatness of Yoga**
Yoga is a sharp axe that cuts down all the vines of misfortune, and it is a herb that subdues the goddess of liberation, free from any mantras or tantras, and a charm that conquers karma. Just as a fierce wind scatters a dense array of clouds, so too does yoga destroy many sins. Just as a blazing fire consumes fuel accumulated over a long time in an instant, so too does yoga destroy sins accumulated over many lifetimes in an instant. For a yogi, phlegm, mucus, excrement, touch, and all other medicinal properties are great wealth, and the ability to know the objects of all senses through one sense is a miracle of yoga practice. Similarly, the wealth of knowledge of the fourfold path, the ability to acquire poison and its antidote, the knowledge of the future, and the ability to know the thoughts of others are the blossoming flowers of the wish-fulfilling tree of yoga. Indeed, how great is the power of yoga that even while bearing the responsibility of a vast empire, the king of the Bharata land, Bharata Chakravarti, attained omniscience. For those who have committed the great sins of killing a Brahmin, a woman, a fetus, or a cow, and who are like guests of hell, and for those who are strong and powerful, yoga is the only support. Of the four goals of life - dharma, artha, kama, and moksha - moksha is the foremost, and yoga is the cause of its attainment. It is composed of the three jewels of right knowledge, right faith, and right conduct.
