Kaivalyapāda (Chapter on Isolation)

Patañjali

It deals with the origin of powers, latent impressions and karma, defends against the idealists the reality of objects independent of the mind, and culminates in isolation (kaivalya): when the qualities of nature have fulfilled their purpose they are reabsorbed, and consciousness stands established in its own form.
