The yoga sutras of Patanjali outline the
art and science of traditional Yoga meditation for Self-Realization. It is a
process of systematically encountering, examining, and transcending each of the
various gross and subtle levels of false identity in the mind field, until the
jewel of the true Self comes shining through.
When the mind becomes purified like a
mirror, knowledge is revealed in it. Care should therefore be taken to purify
the mind.
Action cannot destroy ignorance, for it
is not in conflict with it. Knowledge (truth) destroys ignorance, as light
alone destroys darkness.
The Witness can never be
attained, because it is ever-present.
Sri Ramana Maharshi.
"There is no reaching the
Self. If Self were to be reached, it would mean that the Self is not here and
now but that it has yet to be obtained. What is attained will also be lost. So
it will be impermanent. What is not permanent is not worth striving for.
