    Commentaries around

    “Different suggestions are available in our tradition
    to help the beginner arrive at the highest state of Samādhi.
    For example, using the image or idol of Īśvara
    in the form pleasant to the seeker or even a picture frame.”
    – T Krishnamacharya on Yoga Sūtra Chapter One verse 42

    “Similarly, because of the proximity of Citta and Puruṣa,
    what is the quality of one is taken to be of the other.
    In our convention they are often taken as one
    and not two distinct entities with different natures.
    This state is Asmitā.”
    – T Krishnamacharya on Yoga Sūtra Chapter Two verse 6
