Yoga Beyond Asanas by Sri M

Sri M - "The question is, 'Is yoga just doing asanas or pranayam or are there deeper aspects of Yoga? Yoga is defined in Pathanjali's Yoga sutras, as 'Yogas chitta vritti nirodha' which means yoga is the elimination of the distractions, the disturbances and the conflicts of the mind. The angas in the sadhana pada are meant to bring this about because it is not easy to simply sit and say, "I want to be free of the distractions of the mind". It doesn't work like that...."

23:16 Observer is the observed. Can we see without the observer?

[@JaneB1]

My question too. What's beyond the witness... Somewhat guessing... states of consciousness far beyond how we might understand through that word "witness." My best guess is that witness is the portal. Or maybe it's the very last veil before being One, with no individual awareness. It feels like something is beyond, vast and inexpressible.

[@jijiranichandrakumar9144]

owe some explanation
