पातञ्जल योगसूत्र (स्वामी विवेकानन्द भाष्य एवं सूत्र व्याख्या)

Patanjali Yoga Sutras gives its light to everything. It is its power that is percolating through all matter and force. 19. एकसमये चोभयानवधारणम् ॥ १९॥ ekasamaye chobhayanavadharannam From its being unable to cognise two things at the same time. If the mind were self-luminous it would be able to cognise everything at the same time, which it cannot. If you pay deep attention to one thing you lose another. If the mind were self-luminous there would be no limit to the impressions it could receive. The PuruSa can cognise all in one moment; therefore the PuruSa is self-luminous, and the mind is not. 20. चित्तान्तरदृश्ये बुद्धिबुद्धेरतिप्रसङ्गः स्मृतिसंकरश्च ॥ २०॥ chittantaradrishye buddhibuddheratiprasanggah smritisankarashcha Another cognising mind being assumed there will be no end to such assumptions and confusion of memory. Let us suppose that there is another mind which cognises the first, there will have to be something which cognises that, and so there will be no end to it. It will result in confusion of memory, there will be no storehouse of memory. 21. चितेरप्रतिसंक्रमायास्तदाकारापत्तौ स्वबुद्धिसंवेदनम् ॥ २१ ॥ 136
