Patanjali citations

Patañjali est un nom célèbre dans l'histoire intellectuelle du monde indien. Ce nom est porté, semble-t-il, par deux érudits distincts. Le premier Patañjali serait le grammairien qui écrit en 200 av. J.-C. environ le Mahābhāṣya, « Grand Commentaire » de la « Grammaire en huit parties », la Aṣṭādhyāyī, composée en 400 av. J.-C. environ par le grammairien Pāṇini. Le deuxième Patañjali serait le compilateur réel ou mythique du recueil classique des Yoga Sūtra de date beaucoup plus récente, quelque part entre l'an 300 av. J.-C. et l'an 500 apr. J.-C.. Il aurait aussi écrit le Nataraja stotram, « hymne à Natarâja », Shiva roi de la danse. Wikipedia

Patanjali: Citations en anglais

“When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bonds: Your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction, and you find yourself in a new, great, and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive, and your discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be.”

As quoted by Wayne Dyer http://n-spire.com/archives/011802.html
The Mahābhāṣya

“Where the heart is full of kindness which seeks no injury to another, either in act or thought or wish, this full love creates an atmosphere of harmony, whose benign power touches with healing all who come within its influence. Peace in the heart radiates peace to other hearts, even more surely than contention breeds contention.”
