There’s a misconception that stealing refers to taking only material things (or opportunities that may lead to material success)—i.e. taking things like money, objects, and other possessions that don’t belong to you. This leads us into our discussion on Asteya, which is the third Yama (ethical restraint) presented in the eightfold path of yoga (as described by Patanjali’s Yoga sutras). In this philosophy, Asteya challenges us to expand our understanding of what it actually means to steal.
