    Commentaries around

    “This Sūtra describes the origin of Duḥkha.
    Duḥkha arises because of change, greed and conditioning.
    Besides the Guṇa cause inherent changes unexpectedly.
    This disturbs balance and Duḥkha follows.”
    – T Krishnamacharya on Yoga Sūtra Chapter Two verse 15

    “There is a relationship between
    Pariṇāma, Tāpa and Saṃskāra.
    When you recognise this phenomena
    there is something that recognises it.
    That something is not part of the phenomena.”
    – TKV Desikachar on Sāṃkhya and Yoga
