The text translated here is an historical find: an unknown commentary on the Yoga Sutra-s of Patanjali by Sankara, the most eminent philosopher of ancient India. Present Indications are that it is likely to be authentic, which would date it about AD700. The many references to meditation in his accepted works have sometimes been regarded as concessions to accepted ideas of the time , and not really his own views. If he has chosen to write a commentary on Yoga meditation, it must have been a central part of his own standpoint, although he was opposed to some of the philosophical doctrines of the official Yoga school. One would expect a tendency to modify these unacceptable doctrines if this text is really by Sankara. This turns out to be the case'.? T.P.Leggett - Introduction for the general reader -?1990 '.....Leggett's translation of the Vivarana did not receive the attention it deserved when it first came out. Some of the points that he raised are well worth consideration in the context of the authorship problem, and his contribution to the debate should be recognised..... Dr Kengo Harimoto in his Foreword to the e-book edition -?2017 'When enthusiasm flags, read sutras 11.15 - 17; look around you and see how anxiety, pain and death are rushing towards us like an express train. Yoga is a way to escape them'. T.P.Leggett - How to use this book for Yoga Practice - 1990 Excerpts from 'The Complete Commentary by Sankara on the Yoga Sutra-s' by Trevor Leggett

Ki ne vágyna rá, hogy szeressék, elfogadják és megbecsüljék? Ki ne tenne meg bármit ezekért az értékekért? Bels? Nóra új k?nyve Utak egymáshoz cím? el?z? munkájának folytatása egy teljesen új néz?pontból: a k?nyv a ?szeret?” fogalmáról, lelki és párkapcsolati jelent?ségér?l szól. A k?nyv egyik állítása, hogy ha megismerjük és elfogadjuk a szeret?i viszonyrendszer m?k?dését, talán még élni is tudunk benne. Hiszen van úgy, hogy már nincsen út egymáshoz, hogy eltévedtünk, vagy már nem is keressük azt az utat, csak egy másikat, hogy ?sszet?rt életünk, lelkivilágunk mozaikjait újból egybeillesszük… Intimitás, érzelmek, lelki k?zelség: a hosszú távú kapcsolatokban gyakran nem éppen ezek halnak el? Pedig nélkülük szinte biztos az unalom, a megszokottság monotóniája és a boldogtalan hétk?znapok. Ilyenkor léphet be ?az a bizonyos harmadik”. A szerz? anélkül beszél a szeret?r?l, hogy pálcát t?rne f?l?tte, és inkább azt igyekszik feltárni, párkapcsolataink mely szakaszában bukkanhat fel, és milyen típusú hiányokra lehet gyógyír. Azt sem mellékes tudni, mikor szinte szükségszer?ség a megjelenése, milyen jelekb?l k?vetkeztethetünk egy ?harmadik” jelenlétére, mikor rombol, és mely esetekben lehet akár épít? a szeret?sdi.

Lehet házunk a hegytet?n, men? kocsink a garázsban, drága holmikkal telet?m?tt gardróbunk, de mindez mit sem ér, ha nincs kivel megosztani az élményeinket. Van, aki hamar megtalálja élete párját, mások csak hosszú barangolás, megannyi kanyar után. Olykor nehéz, igen. Hinni, várni, szeretni, csalódni, talpra állni, és újra bízni. De eszünkbe ne jusson sajnálni az olykor keser? tapasztalatok egyetlen percét sem, hiszen minden rossz a javunkat szolgálja – már ha levonjuk a megfelel? tanulságot a t?rténtekb?l. Akár így, akár úgy, el?sz?r ismerkedjünk meg ?nmagunkkal, és ha tisztán látunk, biztosan észrevesszük azt a jókép? idegent, aki már alig várja, hogy megszólíthasson. Na, és ekkor beindul a móka, elindul k?z?s utunk. Addig pedig nincs más dolgunk, mint alaposan felkészülni a témából: Mit?l vonzó egy n? a pasik szemében? Mit hangsúlyoznak a férfiak ismerkedéskor? Miért fontos az els? randi? Tényleg édesapánk arcát keressünk a partnerünkben? Most akkor a hasonló a hasonlónak ?rül, vagy az ellentétek vonzzák egymást? Fogós kérdések, ugye? MEGYERI ZSUZSA D?RA párkapcsolati kisokosa a pszichológia t?rténetének legizgalmasabb kísérleteit, legérdekesebb kutatásait és felismeréseit gy?jti egy csokorba. Az eredmények szórakoztató és t?rténetekben b?velked? bemutatásával segít, hogy mi magunk is levonhassuk a ránk vonatkozó k?vetkeztetéseket, és az els? randitól a gyerekvállalásig a legt?bb nehéz helyzetet csillagos ?t?sre oldjuk meg – hiszen az élet párban szép!

Voltak olyan korok, amikor az azonos nem?ek szerelme elfogadott volt. Vajon hogy lehet, hogy most, a 21. században mégse tudunk mit kezdeni ezzel a dologgal? Miért van az, hogy sokan még ma is csak a kül?nbségeket akarják látni, legyen szó akár vallásról, b?rszínr?l vagy szexuális orientációról? Sokan óvtak attól, hogy megírjam ezt a k?nyvet. Azt mondták, nem olyan világban élünk, hogy ilyenekr?l beszélni lehessen. ?n mégis azt hiszem, hogy az emberi érzéseknek, az emberi életek tanulságainak, az ember drámáinak, dilemmáinak és ?r?meinek mindig és mindenkor helye van, mert talán ezek a legfontosabbak az életben. Remélem, hogy ez a k?nyv sokaknak jelent majd segítséget, kapaszkodót és ad er?t, hogy mindenb?l, a legnehezebb élethelyzetekb?l is van kiút. Fenntartásokkal vettem kezembe ezt a k?nyvet. Nem szeretem a klikkesedést, és vallom, hogy akkor lesz majd jó világ, ha nem kell olyan k?nyveknek születnie, mint ez a mostani. De sajnos még kell. ?rz?dik a hangomban a sértettség? Talán én is sebzett vagyok? Nem tagadom. Nem egyszer? mindennap úgy kimenni az utcára, hogy legalább egyszer ne azt halljad: ?Ott j?n az a buzi a tévéb?l!” ?n mégis mindenkinek azt tanácsolom, hogy inkább ugorjon ?ssze a gyomra egy beszólástól, minthogy egész életében ?k?lbe szoruljon a fel nem vállalt élete miatt… Amikor elkezdtem olvasni ezeket az interjúkat, beszippantott, s?t beindított a sok kül?nb?z? hang. Egyre inkább úgy éreztem, hogy az egész rólam szól. Mondatok, gondolatok, apák, anyák, hülye helyzetek, szorongások, szépségek, a vágy titokzatos tárgyai, szex, szemétség, szerelem, szatíra… Heterók, biszexek, melegek és egyéb állatfajták egyaránt megtalálják a saját mondataikat ezekben a sztorikban korra, nemre való tekintet nélkül. Leny?g?z?, hogy megismételhetetlen életeink mennyire ?sszeforrnak a t?bbiek sorsával, mások t?rténetével. Ez villanyozott fel igazán! Mert eszembe jutott az els? ?barin?m” az oviból, meg az ?ikern?vérem” a gimib?l, akivel csókolóztam, és megrémültem, mert tudtam, hogy egészen másra gondolunk csók k?zben. ?s bevillant a torna?lt?z?, ahol hideg verejtékben für?dtem k?vér kisfiúként, mik?zben a nyolcadikos srácok el?ttünk ?lt?ztek át, és disznó vicceket mesélve r?h?gtek. ?s persze el?bújt az emlékeim k?zül a jelenet, amikor Spanyolországba k?lt?ztem, és apám a gyorsforgalmi úton a reptér felé megkérdezte, hogy akkor végül is meleg vagyok-e. ?s persze az anyámnak írt levél Madridból, mert neki mégis inkább tartoztam ezzel a vallomással. Aztán az els? látogatásom a picike melegbárban, biológiak?nyvemmel a kezemben – másnap az ?t?sért feleltem… Meg a nagy csalódásom a ?legjobb barátomban”, akivel a gimiben el?sz?r lefeküdtem. ?s persze eszembe jutott a ?nagy szerelem”, ami ugyanúgy nem tudott normális lenni, ahogy az egész életem sem az. Ugye, hogy ezek a helyzetek nagyjából mindenki életébe behelyettesíthet?k? A melegek csak annyiból ?mások”, amennyiben a t?bbiek annak akarják tekinteni ?ket. Ez a k?nyv azért fontos, mert mindenki megtalálhatja benne azt, ami róla szól. Lakatos Márk

Cunoa?te-te pe tine ?nsu?i Aceast? inscrip?ie reliefat? pe frontonul templului lui Apolo din Delfi a devenit principiul fundamental al filosofiei lui Socrate. Remarc?m de altfel c? majoritatea religiilor ?i ?nv???turilor antice ne ?ndeamn? c?tre aceea?i cunoa?tere fundamental?. ?Cunoa?te-te pe tine ?nsu?i!” s-a transformat ?ntr-o maxim? ?i un ?ndemn de urmat pentru majoritatea oamenilor, fiecare urm?ndu-?i propria cale. Ce ?nseamn? s? ne cunoa?tem? Ce suntem noi ?n realitate ?i ce este de (re)cunoscut referitor la fiin?a noastr?? Care este numitorul comun al tuturor ac?iunilor noastre? Care este aspira?ia l?untric? a fiec?ruia dintre noi, pentru ce facem tot ce facem ?i care este natura adev?ratei fericiri? Toat? c?utarea noastr? se rezum? la un lucru foarte simplu: g?sirea propriei identit??i. Poate fi adev?rata noastr? identitate o stare, o manifestare sau o experien??? Toate acestea sunt trec?toare, astfel c? dac? am fi fost una din ele, am fi disp?rut odat? cu ea. Nimic din ceea ce este supus schimb?rii, nimic din ceea ce apare ?i dispare nu poate constitui esen?a noastr?. Ceea ce suntem ?n realitate este permanent aici, percep?nd schimb?rile, apari?iile ?i dispari?iile experien?elor ?i a obiectelor din ele.
