  …almost everything else in the universe, but also correlate with the notions of avoiding a debt, concentration and persistence. But the chance is still the major factor. BTW, the parts of the Patanjali Yoga Sutra, which gives practical advice about the practice - about necessity of an appropriate isolated place, diet, habits with emphasis on sleep cycle, proper state of mind, concentration and persistence - is…

  …that are considered acceptable by the mainstream religion. Islam has Sufism, Judaism has Kabbala, Hinduism has so many it's hard to know where to start (but Yogic traditions, such as described in the Yoga Sutra of Patanjali are a good place to start), and Buddhism has many branches with deeply esoteric traditions. Christianity on the other hand has a few minor mystical texts and thinkers (The Cloud of Unknowing,…

  …means many things to many people. Thus, I started my comment above with "In my opinion" which makes the whole comment subjective to my experience. The definition I give above, refers to the Patanjali Yoga Sutra definition of Dhyana, which is essentially an extremely old technical document related to meditation and yoga. Something to consider, is that there seems to be some confusion on this thread between meditative…

  The amount of nonsense which has been written about yoga (Vedanta and Buddhism) is, ironically, matches the amount of nonsense about OOP and Java.) Yoga, at least according to the yoga sutra of Patanjali is *unity with the whole (That)", through unity of mind and body via breath as a preliminary practice, without which any further "realizations" are impossible (training routine).

  …for create the condition for the manifestation of this state. Mediation can't be learned in a book. The best mode is learning it from a master. And one of the best clean way for me is Zen with zazen. In yoga sutra of Patanjali mediation is considered one of the high level of yoga, level that is reached after a long practice of other yoga levels (asana,pranayama,prathyara and dharana)

  It is nice to see a demonstration of the fundamental principle, described in the Patanjali's Yoga Sutra, in contrast to the cascades of bullshit of the Yoga Pradipika. Humans bullshit everything, painting degrade to the modern colorful Warkshok inkblots, music - to sophisticated noise, yoga became a method…

  is better practice meditation not alone, but with a master or an experienced practicer of many years. Meditation can bring to light unconscious content. In ashtanga yoga of Patanjali (yoga sutra) the meditation (dhyana) is considered an high state of practice. For general relax and for stress, is better learning yoga(for example yoga nidra and some light pranayamas), some forms or chi kung and/or…

  Humility was a major factor in most pre-Christian religions and similar efforts, featuring prominently in Patanjali’s yoga sutra, Taoism, Confucianism, Judaism, Buddhism, and so on. The position reiterated in your article is based on a comparison of the New Testament to a naive reading of the Greek philosophers. Christianity…
