16th Sutra Chapter 2

But suffering that has not yet arisen can be prevented.

Patañjali is saying that yoga is a preventive healing art, science and philosophy, by which we build up, robust health in body and mind.

As well as construct a defensive strength

with which to deflect or counteract afflictions that are as yet, unperceived causes of suffering.
