Commentaries around

“There are stages to this coming together.
The first stage in meditational unity
is deliberation on a gross object,
intermixed with words, purpose,
knowledge and imagination around
the object. This is called Savitarkā,
or unrefined gross deliberation.”
– Paul Harvey on Yoga Sūtra Chapter One verse 42
