Patanjali Yoga Sutra – IV – 4



The repeating double
निर्माण्यचित्तान्यस्मितामत्रात||
Nirmanachitthanyasmitamatrat||

This refers to a yoga siddhi of constantly creating different states of mind in oneself and in others with the help of ‘I’ness or Asmita Bhava. This strong thought of I alone is responsible for various births and deaths. This also has the capacity to create a replica of itself and go through different experiences that it has to go through.

Thank you for wonderful exploration of yoga sutra. I did learn it as part of yoga training few years back, and have a lot of gaps in my understanding. It is amazing how many doubts got cleared by your extraordinary blog. Looking forward to further posts....
