Sublime

According to Patañjali, as a result of submission to the Lord, the various disturbances, antarāya (disease, idleness, etc., listed in the next sūtra), do not manifest; rather, the yogī’s inner consciousness or real self manifests,

abhyāsa and vairāgya, practice and dispassion, were mentioned in the first chapter (I.15) as the means of yoga, whereas here in kriyā-yoga, tapas, svādhyāya, and Īśvara-praṇidhāna are being presented as the means.
