“Until the Dancer (Citta) deeply realises that
the Observer (Cit) of the Spectacle (Viṣaya) is not interested
in the drives (Avidyā) which animate the dance,
the Dancer continues to Dance.”
–  Sāṃkhya Kārikā verse 59

“Different people explain the cause of disease differently.
In the Yoga Sūtra disease is Vikṣepā, a mind which is unstable.
Mind loses its presence of mind before an object.”
– TKV Desikachar France 1983

“When an object is invisible,
it is not invisible because it is not there,
but because something hides it.
What you seek may be next door,
but you won’t find it precisely because it is next door.”
– TKV Desikachar Madras December 19th 1988
