Sunday Afternoon Sutras

I was reading through the Yoga Sutras this afternoon, comparing two translations while listening to Jayashree chant.

With me, too, is a copy of Eckhart Tolle's The Power of Now. He makes no reference to yoga and yet his words ring familiar, a good complement to yogic studies.

We are gifted, if we have faith, with prayers, words, salutations and teachings. The Truth within Scriptures, or as revealed by those ahead in this path, is universal, encompassing the structures we've created to unite (and divide) us. Let nothing divide us anymore.

This one is for Patanjali and the beautiful Yoga Sutras.

Yogena cittasya padena vacam
malam sarirasya ca vaidyakena
yo' pakarottam pravaram muninam
patanjalim Pranjaliranato'smi
