At least fifty different English translations of the Sanskrit Yoga Sutras have been completed, standing as a human testament to how such a profound, wise, and inspiring guidebook based on Universal Truth has stood the test of time and is still celebrated in variegated, rich, and diverse forms.

How Feelings and Sensation Work - The Study and Practice of Yoga - Chapter 42
A reason for many of our difficulties in life, which is not well thought out, is the unnecessary contact with persons. This could be avoided if some discretion were to be exercised. For the most part, we are not in a position to judge people correctly, and we often err in our judgements of persons and circumstances. Patanjali's advice is to be cautious about our associations with people, because any kind of injudicious relationship with people may lead to complications of an unforeseen character, and later on it may become very painful for us when we try to extricate ourselves from the clutches of these conditions. 'Good things' and 'bad things' are relative terms, and our judgements in these respects, when they are mistaken to be absolute, are likely to lead us in erroneous directions. It is not easy to determine who is our friend and who is our enemy, and our judgements in this regard, being shallow for obvious reasons, will certainly lead to consequences which are unexpected.
