Sadhguru on Patanjali Yoga Sutras ".................and now, Yoga."
Patanjali
starts the Yoga Sutras in a very strange way. The first sutra is “…and
now, yoga.” That half a sentence is one chapter. It is a very strange
way to start a book of that dimension. Intellectually, it does not make
any sense, but experientially what it is saying is: “If you still
believe that building a new house, or finding a new wife, or getting
your daughter married will settle your life, it is not yet time for
yoga.
But, if you have seen power, wealth and pleasure, if you
have tasted everything in your life and realised that nothing is going
to work in the real sense and fulfil you ultimately, then it is time for
yoga.”
All the nonsense that the whole world is involved in,
Patanjali just brushes it aside with half a sentence. This is why the
first sutra is “…and now, yoga.” That means, you know nothing works and
you do not have a clue about what the hell this is. The pain of
ignorance is tearing you apart. Now, yoga. Now there is a way to know.
