Richard, I still disagree with you about this alleged separation of Purusha and
Prakriti being the ultimate goal of yoga. Maybe it's a temporary goal but I
think the ultimate goal is to realize that Purusha IS Prakriti. Even in this
quote, the word power I think, refers to Prakriti. So the quote is saying that
Prakriti settles into Purusha.

The goal of Raja yoga is kaivalya (isolation) of the Purusha from the prakriti.

own pure nature." — Kaivalya Pada: Sutra 35.
