Kaivalyapada sutra 15-17

Yogasutra Kaivalyapada sutra 15-17

Sri Sadgurubyoh Namah

15. Vastu samye chitta bhedat tayo vibhaktah pantah

If Different minds observe the same object , the perception will be different for each mind.

Eg: Let us take a cow, as seen by a Hindu, and a meat lover. Hindu thinks that cow is sacred, meat lover can only see steak there.


16. Na cha eka chitta tantram ched vastu tat pramanakam tada kim syat

The object exists independent of any of the percieving minds. Because if it is dependent on percieving minds, then if a particular mind doesnt percieve it, the object has to vanish.



17. Tad uparaga apeksitvat chittasya vastu jnata ajnatam

Depending on the coloring of object coming in contact with coloring of mind, the knowing or unknowing of an object happens.
