Patanjali's Yoga Sutras: clear explanation

It's about time we talked on this channel about Patanjali's Yoga Sutras. Many of the texts considered sacred in India, and many other spiritual texts are based on these Sutras that Patanjali compiled more than 20 centuries ago. It is incredible that they still have so much strength, and that it is a path to follow for many seekers of spirituality.
Patanjali created these Yoga Sutras as a yoga treatise based on earlier doctrines, such as the samkhia doctrine. So he would be like the first one who organized or structured these practices or these philosophical principles in a clear and accessible way.
But what these Yoga Sutras are best known for is “Ashtanga Yoga”, the yoga of the eight elements. The practice of these eight elements culminates in samadhi, first undergoing physical, mental and spiritual growth, and always leading a disciplined and balanced life.
Let us remember that yoga is not simply a discipline to control the body with postures, it is a mental and spiritual transformation. The union of the person with the Whole is sought. Especially today, the mental discipline and meditation recommended in the Yoga Sutras can be powerful tools in facing the challenges of modern life. Can you imagine if they added Patanjali's Yoga Sutras to schools, as another subject? I think the world would improve a lot.
