Yoga Sūtras

Egotism is to misunderstand the seer to be the power of seeing.

In the presence of someone who is deeply committed to nonviolence, hostility recedes.

The skillful means for removing ignorance is discriminative discernment.

The practice of the limbs of yoga leads to the destruction of impurities and discriminative discernment.

The cause of this identification is ignorance.

The false identification of the seer and that which is seen is the cause of suffering to be avoided.

The suffering not yet arisen can be avoided.

To a person who sees clearly, all experiences, whether pleasant or unpleasant, carry the seed of suffering, because they are impermanent, driven by craving, shaped by habit, and bound to change.

Practice is the sustained effort to rest in stillness.
