Sky Gazing : Patanjali's Yoga sutras

Sutra 3: The seer is established


Listen Later

तदा द्रष्टुः स्वरूपेऽवस्थानम् ॥

tadā draṣṭuḥ svarūpe' vasthānam ||

The seer is established as the witness.

The purpose of this sutra is to answer the question: what is the aim of yoga? It also completes the definition of yoga as begun in the first and second sutras and it reveals the unchanging nature of spirit.
