    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

    “The experience known as Sthira Sukham Āsanam,
    described in Yoga Sūtra Chapter Two verse 46,
    arises as a fruit of Yoga Sūtra Chapter Two verse 47,
    from melding the mastery of outer stillness in the world,
    described as Prayatna Śaithilya, or relaxation of continued effort,
    with the mystery of inner openness to the beyond,
    described as Ananta Samāpatti, or unity in the infinite.”
    – Paul Harvey on Yoga Sūtra Chapter Two verse 46

    “According to one’s capability and reference,
    Prāṇāyāma done along with Mantra yields fruits
    in the treatment of all kinds of diseases.”
    – From T Krishnamacharya’s composition,
    the Yoga Rahasya Chapter One verse 84

    “If engaging therapeutically, firstly
    examine the gait of the breath
    and the power of the body.
    Otherwise it will not bestow fruits.”
    – From T Krishnamacharya’s composition,
    the Yoga Rahasya Chapter One verse 85

    “The means by which we obtain the
    Yoga of result is the Yoga of action,
    Kriyā Yoga.
    While only part of Yoga,
    Kriyā Yoga is the practical aspect of
    Yoga which can initiate a change for
    the better in the quality of our lives.”
    – TKV Desikachar Religiousness in Yoga Chapter One Page 12

    “We must act in life,
    but we should not be disappointed
    by the results of our actions
    for we may often act imperfectly.”
    – TKV Desikachar Religiousness in Yoga ‘Various Approaches to Yoga’ Chapter Seventeen Page 242

    “The relationship we have developed with the fruits of our actions is Īśvara Praṇidhānā”
    – TKV Desikachar France 1983

    “Īśvara Praṇidhānā – How do we take the fruits of our action?”
    – TKV Desikachar France 1983
