Commentaries around
“Insight follows the aggregate
of deliberation on the gross,
to reflection on the subtle,
resulting in a feeling of happiness,
culminating in a sense of oneness.”
– Paul Harvey on Yoga Sūtra Chapter One verse 17
“Those who talk have not seen,
have not felt a quality of Ānanda.
This is why we have to be careful
how we represent ourselves in Yoga.
It is by this that Yoga is judged.”
– TKV Desikachar
