Just like the vrtti of sleep (nidra), where yoga teaches awakening from our slumber, here too, the cessation of the vrtti of smrti allows us to remember our true non -dual Self in a profound/sacred divine remembrance - the union/remembering called yoga. The practice of yoga that Patanjali teaches brings out our natural uncontrived state which is ever-present inherent and within, but remains obscured through the wavelike operation of the kleshas and vrtti. We will see in Sutra 12 how vairagya is the perfect remediation for all the vrtti. See also Sutra I.43 and II.13 and I.49
