Effortless
Being
:
The
Yoga
Sutras
of
Patanjali
The
Yoga
Sutras are
one
of
the
oldest
and
most
Vibrant
spiritual
texts
in
the
world.
In
two
hundred
crystalline
verses
they
uncover
the
experiences
of
unity
that
lie
at
the
heart
of
all
the
major
religions
of
East
and
West,
and
present
the
mental
and
physical
exercises
which
allow
this
experience
to
flower.
In
a
simple
and
lucid
way
the
sutras
analyse
the
nature
of
the
mind,
describe
progressive
stages
of
meditation
and
discuss
the
joys
and
trials
encountered
on
the
path
to
Self
understanding.
One
whole
chapter,
unparalleled
in
the
literature
of
the
spirit,
is
devoted
to
those
transpersonal
experiences
-
such
as
extra-sensory
perception
and
supernormal
powers
-
which
are
the
natural
gifts
of
a
mind
operating
free
from
the
boundaries
of
suffering.
The
sutras
unashamedly
offer
a
new
and
timely
vision
of
the
possibilities
and
purpose
of
human
life,
for
they
celebrate
no
less
than
a
transformation
into
the
Divine,
and
of
the
Divine
into
everything.
Alistair
Shearer’s
translation,
embellished
by
beautiful
and
atmospheric
black
and
white
images
especially
taken
by
the
master
photographer
Richard
Lannoy,
has
rightly
become
a
classic.
