Frases de Patañjali

„Cuando te inspiras en un gran propósito, algún proyecto extraordinario, todos tus pensamientos rompen sus ataduras: tu mente trasciende sus limitaciones, tu conciencia se expande en todas direcciones y te encuentras en un mundo nuevo, grande y maravilloso. Tus fuerzas, facultades y talentos latentes cobran vida, y descubres que eres una persona mucho más grande de lo que nunca soñaste ser.“

—  Patañjali

„Los obstáculos para la reconocer el alma son las limitaciones del cuerpo, la inercia mental, el cuestionamiento incorrecto, el descuido, la pereza, la falta de ecuanimidad, la percepción errónea, la incapacidad para lograr la concentración, la imposibilidad de mantener el estado meditativo cuando se logra.“

—  Patañjali

„La amistad, la compasión y la alegría clarifican y tranquilizan la mente. Deben practicarse tanto en la felicidad como en la desgracia, tanto con quienes nos ayudan como con aquellos que nos perjudican.“
