Please note:This audiobook has been generated using AI Voice. This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The first and foremost scripture of Yoga is the Yoga Sutras, which were written by the sage Patañjali. Within these two hundred short sutras, the entire science of Yoga is clearly delineated. #2 The goal of yoga is to control the rising of the mind into ripples.
When the mind is controlled, you experience yoga. The Yogic experience is gained by controlling the modifications of the mind. #3 If you can control your thought forms, you are not bound by the outside world. You can make the world a heaven or a hell, depending on your attitude. Then there is nothing in this world to bind you. #4 The Seer, or true you, is reflected in the mind which is your mirror.
Normally, you can't see the true Self because your mind is colored. To see the true reflection, see that the water is clean and calm and without any ripples.
