Abstract
Like any discipline philosophy too has both theoretical and practical aspect. As a practical discipline it helps in making spiritual progress and transformation within. If we look at human existence it appears to be a struggle between what is (existence) and what ought (essence) to be. For attaining the ought one has to bring about a modification or transformation in the subject which he or she can attain by following either of the paths shown by Buddha, Jain, Yoga, Upnishads, Vedanta etc. In this paper I have chosen Patanjali’s Yoga or a way of life transformation as self-transformation.
