Ch.1 Sutras 1.13 & 1.14

तत्र स्थितौ यत्नोऽभ्यासः || 1.13 ||

स तु धिर्गकालनैरन्तर्यसत्करासेवितो द्रढभूमिः ||1.14||

(The effort to still the modifications of the mind is known as Practice.

Such Practice continued for a long time, with the right attitude, becomes firm.)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

O Seeker of the Truth,

String the Bow  and Sight the Target,

Practice turns effort to effortlessness,

The Archer and the Arrow become one.

The Arrow and the Target become one,

Which  is the target and which is the missile ?

And which , indeed, is the Archer ?

Does the Archer shoot the Arrow ?

Or does the Arrow shoot itself ?
