The fundamental aim of Patanjali Yoga is
Answer: C
The fundamental aim of Patanjali's Yoga is the cessation of the modifications of the mind, so the answer is C.
The second aphorism of the Yogasutra defines yoga as the stopping of the fluctuations of the mind (citta-vrtti-nirodha). When they cease, the seer rests in its own nature, and this is the isolation (kaivalya) of the self from nature.
Union with God (A) and union with the self (B) are the aims of other schools or of the later bhakti and Vedanta traditions. Patanjali treats devotion to God (Isvarapranidhana) only as one means of reaching the goal, and the acquisition of powers (D) is a by-product that he warns against.
