Why do you feel that there is some truth in Yogasutra? This is the question to ask to the followers of Yogasutra. There are still people who doubt the importance of Yoga. There is a question for them as well. Are you not convinced with the teachings of Yogasutra? Those who believe in its teachings and those who doubt it are listening to it. Why are you interested to listen to Yogasutra? Let’s try to find out the answer to these questions.
Human beings have a natural connection with the supreme source of energy which is beyond the ordinary understanding of the human mind. It happens through our self which serves as an opening for the ultimate wisdom to come down into the level of daily activities. All human minds are not quiet enough to listen to the calls of the ultimate wisdom. But some minds reflect the light from the beyond. S/he begins to feel a kind of mystery in her/is thoughts. S/he asks her/imself, why do I feel that something from the beyond is calling my attention. S/he wonders what that irresistible inner vision is by which I am dragged away to something which is not known by my conscious mind. You are forced to follow this inner quest. Who is there to help you? Who is there to guide you? Who is the Pramaana? Who is the authority to say that ‘Yes, I can explain your experience, listen to me’?
My inner experiences were explained by Yogasutra. When I read and tried to understand the teachings of Yogasutra, I could see the meaning of my own inner experiences. I understood the words of Yogasutra as truth by my own experience. And Yogasutra with its teachings, leads me to further ones.
Only those who have the glimpses of the super wisdom, and who have the quiet mind to see through the self, will be interested to read and study Yogasutra.
Amazing. Explained in a very thought proving way. Reader is motivated to introspect.
