Patanjali has in mind the spiritual man, to be born from the psychical. His purpose is, to set in order the practical means for the unveiling and regeneration, and to indicate the fruit, the glory and the power, of that new birth. POTANTILY HAS IN MIND THE SPIRITUAL MAN TO BE BORN FROM THE PSYCHICAL HIS PURPOSE IS TO SET IN ORDER THE PRACTICAL MEANS FOR THE UNVEILING AND REGENERATION AND TO INDICATE THE FRUIT THE GLORY AND THE POWER OF THAT NEW BIRTH
 we dwell; a world of the images of things seen and heard, and therefore a world of memories; a world also of hopes and desires, of fears and regrets. Mental life grows up among these images, built on a measuring and comparing, on the massing of images together into general ideas; on the abstraction of new notions and images from these; till a new world is built up within, full of desires and hates, ambition, envy, longing, speculation, curiosity, self-will, self-interest. The teaching of the East is, that all these are true powers overlaid by false desires; that though in manifestation psychical, they are in essence spiritual; that the psychical man is the veil and prophecy of the spiritual man. The purpose of life, therefore, is the realizing of that prophecy; the unveiling of the immortal man; the birth of the spiritual from the psychical, whereby we enter our divine inheritance and come to inhabit Eternity. This is, indeed, salvation, the purpose of all true religion, in all times.  LIFE THERE GROWS UP AN IMAGED WORLD WHEREIN WE DWELL A WORLD OF THE IMAGES OF THINGS SEEN AND HEARD AND THEREFORE A WORLD OF MEMORIES A WORLD ALSO OF HOPES AND DESIRES OF FEARS AND REGRETS MENTAL LIFE GROWS UP AMONG THESE IMAGES BUILT ON A MEASURING AND COMPARING ON THE MASSING OF IMAGES TOGETHER INTO GENERAL IDEAS ON THE ABSTRACTION OF NEW NOTIONS AND IMAGES FROM THESE TILL A NEW WORLD IS BUILT UP WITHIN FULL OF DESIRES AND HATES AMBITION ENVY LONGING SPECULATION CURIOSITY SELF WILL SELF INTEREST THE TEACHING OF THE EAST IS THAT ALL THESE ARE TRUE POWERS OVERLAID BY FALSE DESIRES THAT THOUGH IN MANIFESTATION PSYCHICAL THEY ARE IN ESSENCE THAT THE PSYCHICAL MAN IS THE VEIL AND PROPHECY OF THE SPIRITUAL MAN THE PURPOSE OF LIFE THEREFORE IS THE REALIZING OF THAT PROPHECY THE UNVEILING OF THE IMMORTAL MAN THE BIRTH OF THE SPIRITUAL FROM THE PSYCHICAL WHEREBY WE ENTER OUR DIVINE INHERITANCE AND COME TO INHABIT ETERNITY THIS IS INDEED SALVATION THE PURPOSE OF ALL TRUE RELIGION IN ALL TIMES
