So, Deep within The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali—here now is a mind-blowing breakdown of what time really is.
as we delve into today’s episode, let us keep in mind the wisdom of the tree: to honor where we are, to be open to transformation, and to embrace the endless possibilities that lie within us. Breathe in deeply, feel your roots, and let’s begin this journey of discovery of YOGA SUTRA 4.12 together through past, present, future.

The future, on the other hand, unfolds as an extension of the now. By embracing change and shifting our perception of time, we can live more freely, without constraints.
When a yogi fully transcends time and sees how it interacts with the gunas (qualities of nature), they achieve kaivalya, a state of absolute freedom.
This concept will be explored further in SUTRA 4.12
