About this book
Memories, desires and mistaken perceptions occupy the mind that Charles Johnston seeks to understand in his interpretation of Patanjali's teachings. Short numbered sutras appear with explanations of their place in a connected argument. The opening examines observation, reasoning, sleep and memory, presenting control of mental activity as a means of reaching spiritual consciousness. Johnston treats familiar habits of thought as part of a larger religious and philosophical account of the soul.
The discussion later turns to attention, meditation and contemplation, with inner growth described as something achieved gradually. Examples from Newton's mathematical learning and Darwin's studies connect this effort with the patient accumulation of knowledge. Ordinary duties also matter: each day's circumstances become material for reflection and practice.
