Patanjali muni wrote the following due to great daya on human beings:
After doing Sarirasuddhi and obtaining kaya siddhi, and through that and favourable to this a vaidya sastra, and after doing vak Suddhi and from that achieve sabdha brahma upasana to give wellness, and for this vyakaraṇa of panini grammar, to cleanse manas and attain kaivalya, this yoga-sutra.
Important attributes are achievements of yoga-sastra are:
1.svarupa of yoga-sadhana
2.Super natural power one gets as side effects
3.siddhi and kaivalya
In these matters upanishad and yoga-sastra do not have any contradiction. In fact, yoga is a tool to achieve the tatva of upanishad and to see them by oneself. The clashes come because yoga takes sankya sastra as base. Yoga and sankya have many differences, with sastra and upanishad. in some important matters yoga-sastra and upanishad do not agree on certain views.
