“There are two types of Yogis.
The first, Bubhukṣu, are Yogis who
seek material benefits through Samādhi.
This Sūtra speaks about the second type,
the Mumukṣu, who do not seek material benefits.”
– T Krishnamacharya on Yoga Sūtra Chapter One verse 20

“The way to Yoga is experienced
through the art of living skilfully
within the defects of translation,
rather than aspiring romantically
after the effects of transcendence.”
– Paul Harvey on Bhagavad Gītā Chapter Two verse 50

“Only the Citta is the cause for Bandhana or Mokṣa.”
– TKV Desikachar on Bhagavad Gītā Chapter Six verse 6

“In the indian tradition we have the idea of Varṇa–Āśrama–Dharma
and Dharma–Artha–Kāma–Mokṣa.
According to a persons environment, development
or stage of activity in life, the choice must vary.
Which will help a person grow at the body and mental level?
So as such it should be Sṛṣṭi Krama for a certain level of people.
In old times. up to the age of 24 years should be in the direction of Sṛṣṭi Krama.
In other words more risk taken with the body, more ability to grasp ideas.
i.e. Vinyāsa almost like gymnastics.
Not suitable for older person starting Yoga.
We need to be open to this beautiful idea of adaptation.”
– TKV Desikachar France August 1983

“All our aspirations or wishes can be categorised
into four goals or aims for, or in a human life.
They are Dharma, Artha, Kāma and Mokṣa.
Collectively, they are known as the Puruṣārtha.
One might also consider Dharma and Mokṣa
as the banks of a river, through which flows the
everyday life activity of both Artha and Kāma.
In that it is the discernment and insight inherent
in Dharma and Mokṣa that supports the actions
we find ourselves engaged or enmeshed within
through the wiles and woes of Artha and Kāma.”
