Connection to your True Self, which is the eternal Source of peace, is the only way to liberate yourself from the perpetual cycle of suffering that everyone is born into through the human experience.
Everything else is a distraction.
The main goal/aim of Yoga is to connect you to this Truth and Source, which is why Yoga, when you practice to reach Samadhi through the Eightfold Path, has the potential to give you eternal peace. Yoga is a science that creates wellness of the body, breath, mind, and spirit for true liberation from suffering and its accompanying side effects.
