Ok, snarkfest over, please present me even one example from history of Patanjali's claim being true. Even one. Might I suggest Gandhi? Or Jesus? Or Tat Wala Baba? Or Krishna overlooking the battlefield on which an enormous shitload of violent tendencies was about to go down? If Patanjali was correct, why would this (dare I say it) somewhat violent battle be taking place in the vicinity of the personification of yoga? For that matter, if Patanjali's view is correct, why are the Mahabharata and the Vedas an endless succession of stories about beings wanting to do violent harm to the supposedly enlightened? I'll wait...
