The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali - Book 3 - Union achieved and its Results





40. Through subjugation of the samana, the spark
becomes the flame.This sutra is one of the most beautiful in the book and the
translation by Charles Johnston should here be noted: "By mastery of the binding life
comes radiance." Another interpretation might be "through control of samana the
AUM (the Word of Glory) manifests." Out of the heart are the issues of life, and the
vital energy called samana controls the heart and the life breath through the lungs. When
the body is purified and its energies rightly directed, and when rhythm is achieved, then
a radiant life is seen. [333]
This will work out literally and not simply metaphorically, for when the life currents
are directed by the soul upon the throne, through the nerves and the blood channels, then
only the purest atoms will be built into the body and the result will be a shining forth
of light through the entire man. Not only will the head be radiating light so that the
clairvoyant will see a halo or circle of brilliant colors, but all the body will be
irradiated by the vibrant centers of electrical force distributed throughout the body.
