57 – Krishna’s Smile: Intuitive Understanding of Past, Present, Future | Patanjali Yoga Sutras | Swami Tattwamayananda - a podcast by Vedanta Society, San Francisco

Lecture by Swami Tattwamayananda. Yogic powers are nothing supernatural, they are a natural consequence of mental purity and concentration. That’s why Swami Trigunatitanandaji felt quite certain that Jesus Christ was a yogi and a painting installed on the altar with Christ in a Yoga posture. The thirteenth sutra mentions changes in Dharma, Form, Lakshana, time, and Avastha, state. By taking the position of witness and becoming detached we can gain insight, through Samyama, into the past, present, and future of things. Ramana Maharishi said that when the mind turns inward it functions as Atman. Krishna’s smile is a wise man’s smile. He sees through you and understands everything. Verses: III.13, III.14, III.15, III.16
