Commentaries and Reflections

Commentary by T Krishnamacharya:

“The practice which is Śodhana for the Antar Aṅga
is Antaraṅga Sādhana.”

Commentary by Paul Harvey:

“In the Yoga Sūtra, the pre-eminent text on Dhyānam within Yoga.
Chapter One is about the Refinement of the practice of Dhyānam;
Chapter Two is about the Preparation for the practice of Dhyānam;
Chapter Three is about the Outcome of the practice of Dhyānam;
Chapter Four is about the Goal of the practice of Dhyānam.”
