Patanjali Yoga Sutras
Working notes from my study and practice of the Yoga Sutras.
Wrong entries feel like knowing
From the Patanjali Yoga Sutras, Sutra 2.03 avidyā-asmitā-rāga-dveṣa-abhiniveśāḥ kleśāḥ Five distortions. But not five independent problems.
Being dyed less
From the Patanjali Yoga Sutras, Sutra 1.12 abhyāsa-vairāgyābhyāṃ tan-nirodhaḥ Two levers, not one. Show up again and again, and stop being dyed by the result.
Naming the movement
From the Patanjali Yoga Sutras, Sutra 1.02 yogaś citta-vṛtti-nirodhaḥ Yoga is when the turning settles enough for me to see again.
