According to Patanjali, author of the Yoga Sutra’s:
“Yoga is the ability to direct the mind exclusively towards an object and to sustain that direction without any distractions…The mind can be conceived as a lake. Thought waves that arise constantly create ripple in the lake. Only when the surface of the lake is calm, can you see a true reflection.”
Or as Gurmukh so aptly put it:
“Meditation is a way of clearing away the mental clutter that surrounds the subconscious. When our minds are clear, we can see and experience the joy of our own soul." |
