Patañjali's Yogasūtra II.21 | Explained By Viniyoga® Expert Dr Kausthub Desikachar

Yogasūtra II.21- tad-artha eva dạśyasya-ātmā

The seen exists with only one purpose, [to serve] That [Seer].

This Sūtra establishes that the Seer is definitely the master: Prakṛti exists to serve the Puruṣa and not the other way round. It is like food on the table, which is there for the guest and not for its own sake.
