“In Sūtra 1.34 Patañjali presents strategies to
work with the breath to help calm the mind.
How does the approach outlined here differ
from the Prāṇāyāma practices discussed in
the Bāhya Aṅga Sādhana in Chapter Two?”
– Paul Harvey on Yoga Sūtra Chapter One verse 34

“Or,
to calm sensory over–stimulation,
take the activities within the mind
itself as an object to bind the mind,
out of which, steadiness can arise.”
– Paul Harvey on Yoga Sūtra Chapter One verse 35

“In Sūtra 1.35 Patañjali presents a
practical option to calm sensory
over–stimulation, It’s taking the
activities within the mind itself
as an object to bind the mind,
What would you offer as an
example of a mental activity
that would reflect the strategy
that is being proposed here?”
– Paul Harvey on Yoga Sūtra Chapter One verse 35
