Commentaries around
“Imagination is knowledge
that comes from words
empty of substance.”
– Paul Harvey on Yoga Sūtra Chapter One verse 9
“In Sūtra 1.10 Patañjali defines Nidrā as a
Citta Vṛtti or, a specific type of cognition, one
where Tamas is the object, to the point where
the mind’s link with external stimuli is cut off.
How do we discern between states such as
Pratyāhāra as a disengagement, or Samādhi,
where one is as if empty of one’s own character,
and what is seen as the experience of Tamo Nidrā?”
– Paul Harvey on Yoga Sūtra Chapter One verse 10
“If you remove the past from the present what is left?”
– Paul Harvey on Yoga Sūtra Chapter One verse 43
