Listen "034. Musing, confusing, jump to a conclusion."
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, we delve into the yoga sutras and navigate the concept of vrittis with a sense of humour, acknowledging the occasional confusion that arises from these musings. Now, let's dive deeper into the Yoga Sutras. Patanjali, the Master behind these profound teachings, introduces the third vritti, vikalpa. This addition adds another layer to our exploration of the mind's fascinating fluctuations, marking a significant point in our journey. We highlight Edwin Bryant's commentary as an invaluable resource for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of the yoga sutras. Drawing from Bryant's work, we reflect on examples of verbal delusions, such as the sun rising or setting, shedding light on how language shapes our perception of reality. Additionally, we reference "How to Know God" by Swami Prabavanadana and Christopher Isherwood, which touches on another aspect of verbal delusion—jumping to conclusions—a common cognitive trap explored in this episode.
