Patanjali’s Yoga is centered around mind. But throughout the

discussion about Yoga, Patanjali rarely describes this mind nor how

it functions. The reason is that Patanjali assumes the model of the

mind as put forth by Samkhya. So, it becomes necessary to know what

Samkhya says about the mind in order to fully understand Yoga. In

this episode, we will be doing exactly that.
