Commentaries around
“There are stages to this coming together.
The first stage in meditational unity
is deliberation on a gross object,
intermixed with words, purpose,
knowledge and imagination around
the object. This is called Savitarkā,
or unrefined gross deliberation.”
– Paul Harvey on Yoga Sūtra Chapter One verse 42
“If engaging therapeutically, firstly
examine the gait of the breath
and the power of the body.
Otherwise it will not bestow fruits.”
– From T Krishnamacharya’s composition,
the Yoga Rahasya Chapter One verse 85
