“It is intriguing, or even at times beguiling, in what
choices we make in relation to the nine interventions
elegantly presented in Yoga Sūtra Chapter One verse 30.
In other words what ploys do we deploy and employ
with regard to at least living intelligently within,
even if unable to transform at this point in time,
with what appears as if a distraction between how
we feel we are and how we feel we would like to be.”
– Paul Harvey on Yoga Sūtra Chapter One verse 30

“In Sūtra 1.30 Patañjali suggests nine interventions
as potential initiators for distraction in the psyche.
Reflecting on these nine interventions as obstacles,
Which of them are ‘favourites’ in your sense of self?
To the point of being ‘as if’ friends along the way.”
– Paul Harvey on Yoga Sūtra Chapter One verse 30
