Patanjali, Revisited!

Today, 12th Nov- 2007, Patanjali Yoga Sutras were visited again.. Here what we understood, not the exact verbatim!


One third of our life we spend sleeping, one third in dreaming and day dreaming. We hardly spent any time in present moment except our childhood. Though we have been sleeping for quite a long time but we didn’t get to know about our sleep and our dreams. We never shook hand with our sleep.

When we are dreaming we are somewhere else, when we dream we are at other place,

We live in three Pur (City)

  1. Awake
  2. Sleep
  3. Dream

There is no need to analyze your dreams, nowadays there is a new research going on dreams in America. I’ll say it’s useless. We are sleeping 6-8 hours a day but we don’t know our sleep. Some people sleep even 10 hours or more. Do you see a child sleeping! How innocently he sleeps, do you see?

But a yogi should sleep for 4-6 hours.

Some people can’t even sleep. They would be lying down on bed while tired and in tensions, and would not know when they go into sleep. And when they get up same things again pop up in mind.

If we can know about sleep we can experience that state of Samadhi. It’s not very difficult as sometime we feel while reading scriptures. We had that state when we were child.
