    Commentaries around

    “Mental activities are called Kliṣṭa when they result
    in Duḥkha and Akliṣṭa when they do not.
    When the three Guṇa are dominant,
    Jīva is troubled and mental activities result in Duḥkha.
    When the mind is free from desires, inclined toward discrimination
    and seeking truth, mental activities do not result in Duḥkha.
    – T Krishnamacharya on Yoga Sūtra Chapter One verse 5

    “These fluctuations fall into five groups
    and can be helpful or unhelpful.”
    – Paul Harvey on Yoga Sūtra Chapter One verse 5

    “In Sūtra 1.5 Patañjali suggests that the psychic
    fluctuations will be either Kliṣṭa or Akliṣṭa.
    How can we discern?”
    – Paul Harvey on Yoga Sūtra Chapter One verse 5

    “In Sūtra 1.8 Patañjali defines Viparyaya as a false knowing.
    How can we discern a right perception from a wrong perception
    and can a false knowing be both Kliṣṭa and Akliṣṭa?”
    – Paul Harvey on Yoga Sūtra Chapter One verse 8
