Patanjali (circa 100 B.C.E.) is the name of a renowned sage in India who is thought to be the author of a number of Sanskrit works. He is one of the 18 siddhars in the Tamil siddha (Shaiva) tradition, and is believed to have lived in the second century B.C.E. Attributed to him are the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali.
Quotes by Patanjali…
When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bonds. Your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction, and you find yourself in a new, great, and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive, and you discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be.
