It’s late and I’ve delayed posting tonight, not sure whether I should go east, west, north or south with my writing. I’ve looked into Patanjali and tried to scry the meaning of a sutra that seems as elusive as the track Venus will make across the sun in a day or two.
I suppose this is all right…to not have it figured out. This sutra is in the first chapter which is about samadhi, a state I have not experienced. This sutra references re- incarnation which I can’t quite align with. All I can do is keep an open mind and hold out for the second chapter, the how-to of attaining the state of yoga.

There will be some who are born in a state of yoga. They will not practice or discipline themselves.*
