    Commentaries around

    “Meditation is about the quality of the effort,
    rather than the fruit of the time.”
    – Paul Harvey on Yoga Sūtra Chapter One verse 13

    “Abhyāsa, when performed with reverence,
    without interruption, over a long period of time, will result
    in a healthy body, acute senses and extraordinary alertness.
    This kind of Abhyāsa is a solid foundation that nothing can disturb.”
    – T Krishnamacharya on Yoga Sūtra Chapter One verse 14

    “Prāṇāyāma must be properly instructed.
    The posture used, seated erect for example,
    is also important.
    The duration and regularity in terms of time
    is also as important as proper instructions.”
    – T Krishnamacharya on Yoga Sūtra Chapter One verse 34

    “In observing, we must remember a few more things:
    We must respect time and change,
    although the tendency nowadays is otherwise.
    We must wait and observe more than once
    so as not to be trapped by the fact
    that things appear like this one day
    and like that another day.”
    – TKV Desikachar 1981
