OMMONKEY’s Quotes

“Detached from the external contact [of the senses with their objects] a person finds happiness in the ātman. Such a person, engaged in practicing the yoga of Brahman [the Absolute Truth], experiences eternal happiness. Material pleasures are born from the contact [of the senses with the sense objects]; they have a beginning and an end, and so they are the source of unhappiness. The wise do not delight in them. (V.21–22)”
― Edwin F. Bryant, The Yoga Sutras of Patañjali: A New Edition, Translation, and Commentary
