The Yoga Sutras

October 31, 2012/ Rachel Warmath

I'm reading Alistair Shearer's translation of The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, a foundational text of yogic teaching.

The opening is both beautiful and sparse:

Yoga is the settling of the mind into silence.

When the mind has settled, we are established in our essential nature, which is unbounded consciousness.
