There are two types of world --- one life less and other is life full i.e. chetna vihin and chaitnaya. If you see every world then Jad jagat i.e. life less, is made up of 24 tatv (elements), if you compare to science it is 92 basic elements of Universe, which are at both the place i.e. inner and outer world. Prakruti is prime element. Patanjali Rishi has taken this 24 elements and one additional element i.e. chitta. Yog starts with this chitta, it is known as “ANTAH KARAN CHATUSHYA”. Yog believes and describes God i.e. Param Aatma and its name is “PRANAV”, i.e. “OMKAR”. Combination of body, mind, feeling, existence, experience is got from Yog.
