“It shows insufficient knowledge and understanding of the Yoga Sutra if you come to the conclusion that the many mental faculties we have—those of observation, inference, memory, imagination, inactivity, and hyperactivity, for example—are detrimental and need to be eliminated. Yoga understands that these faculties are indeed necessary for living. However, exposed to the influences that constantly assail it, the mind develops its own way of working if it’s left to its own devices. In the end it becomes incapable of using the many faculties it possesses because it cannot find any stability and clarity… . In yoga we are simply trying to create the conditions in which the mind becomes as useful as possible for our actions.” The Heart of Yoga TKV Desikachar
