According to Osho, Patanjali wrote the Yoga Sutras as a preface—an appetizer—to awaken your long-buried thirst and draw you near for the real transmission. The essential keys of this sadhana cannot be captured in words; they are shared in deep intimacy with a master when you’re ready to change, raise your consciousness, and dare the unknown. The sutras promise; practice and proximity deliver.
The sutras are like a menu that makes you hungry; the real food is tasted by coming close to a master and truly practicing.
