“Praṇidhānā has both the two qualities.
It is both devotion and an inquiry into what it is.
To seek and to know is Praṇidhānā.”
– TKV Desikachar on Yoga Sūtra Chapter One verse 23

“The Bhagavad Gītā is addressed to those seekers
who are suffering because of lack of clarity with
regard to friendship, compassion and Dharma.”
– TKV Desikachar on Gītārtha Saṃgraha of Śrī Yāmunācārya Śloka Five
( Yāmunācārya’s commentary on Bhagavad Gītā Chapter One)

“Mystery is always present;
it need not be limited to symbols or God.
It can be found in anything, provided we seek it.
It is in the hands of the seeker, not in the object.
Mystery is always there, everywhere,
provided the seeker is serious.”
