Yogasutra Kaivalyapada sutra 22-26

Yogasutra Kaivalyapada sutra 22-26

Sri Sadgurubhyoh Namah

22. chitteh apratisamkramayah tad akara apattau sva buddhi samvedanam

The unchanging consciousness, takes the form of all objects of mind as reflection in a mirror. One of the objects in mind is that of the Buddhi (consciousness) itself and becomes known.


23. drastri drisya uparaktam chittam sarva artham

Both the seer and seen are observed in mind.


24. tad asankheya vasanabhih chittam api parartham samhatya karitvat

Mind with all its countless impressions, works for the benefit of consciousness.


25. Vishesha darshinah atma bhava bhavana vinivrittihi

When the distinction between seer and seen is known/understood correctly , then all questions are anwered and mind becomes silent.


26. tada viveka nimnam kaivalya pragbharam chittam

The silent mind leads yogi towards further discrimination of seer and seen, and leads towards liberation.
