Yoga Sūtra Chapter One verse 16
तत्परं पुरुषख्यातेः गुणवैतृष्ण्यम् ॥१६॥
tat-paraṃ puruṣa-khyāteḥ guṇa-vaitṛṣṇyam ||16||
That higher is an absence of thirst for the attributes of nature,
from a recognition of the animating principle.
Commentaries and Reflections
Commentary by Paul Harvey:
“Yoga is about recognising change and
recognising that which recognises change.”
“We can experience an absence of
thirst for the ephemeral Guṇa
when the recognition of the
eternal Puruṣa pulls us more.”
