Commentaries and Reflections

“When we say our name we relate to our mind and not Cit.
However we are not able to separate mind from Cit.
They are so close – mind and not mind.”

‎”Where there is Duḥkha, there is Avidyā.”

“Better to be clear about being confused,
rather than being confused about being clear.”

“Yoga is not just about engaging
the overt nature of the symptoms,
but also engaging with the
covert cause of the symptoms.”
