En 195 aphorismes, les Yoga-Sutras de Patanjali codifient l'enseignement d'une pratique traditionnelle plusieurs fois millénaire.
C'est l'esprit même du Yoga qui se trouve ici décrit, résumé en une série de remarques lapidaires et lumineuses.
Vrai traité de connaissance de soi, cet ouvrage est l'un des textes majeurs de l'humanité. Son message, transcendant les siècles, se révèle bien plus que moderne : essentiel.
Les Yogasutra de Patañjali comptent parmi les oeuvres de la littérature indienne qui sont d'une portée universelle. Les 195 aphorismes qui constituent ce traité demeurent une référence pour le yoga, depuis leur composition (Ve siècle de l'ère commune) jusqu'à aujourd'hui. Pourtant, ils ne s'appliquent pas à décrire les postures corporelles qui se sont multipliées au cours des siècles. Ils s'intéressent plutôt à l'intériorité de l'être humain, telle qu'un ascète la découvre quand il s'exerce à « la résorption des opérations du mental ». En ce sens, ils déploient une philosophie. C'est pourquoi il fallait un philosophe pour les traduire et les commenter, ce qu'a fait Marc Ballanfat au coeur de l'ouvrage YOGA. L'encyclopédie (Albin Michel, 2021). Il enrichit ici ce travail en l'accompagnant d'un essai sur l'histoire et la philosophie des Yogasûtra afin de les replacer dans leur contexte culturel et d'en comprendre l'enjeu pour notre monde contemporain.
Présenté de façon conceptuelle et pédagogique à la fois, ce traité de l'école de Yoga deviendra indispensable à tout pratiquant désirant approfondir son expérience, et plus largement à tout lecteur persuadé que la philosophie se dit aussi en dehors de l'Occident.
