Patanjali Maharshi is believed to be an avatar of the thousand headed serpent of which Lord Vishnu resides. He is the composer of Yoga Sutras, considered and important text in Yoga.
1) Concentration, meditation, reflection. These three constitute samyama – detached awareness. Through mastery of samyama, the essence of wisdom is illuminated.
2) The Self is immaculate, unchangeable. When Self is reflected in the mind, the mind abides in Self-awareness.
3) Desire is attachment to pleasure.
4) For so long as the roots exist, they bear fruit as fortune of birth, length of life, and the experience of pleasure or suffering.
5) An object is known or unknown depending on whether or not it is reflected in the mind.
