“Patañjali clearly states that free action, beyond causality, is his who acts without motive or desire – as if a kite were released in the sky, without a string to bring it back to earth.” Commentary on Sūtra IV.7, Light on the Yoga Sutras of Patañjali,, Yogācārya B. K. S. Iyengar

“...you are responsible to those people to lighten, and it does not matter what happens to you. You are being used in the way a crab is useful, the way sand certainly has some function. It is impersonal. This force which you didn’t ask for, and this destiny which you must accept, is also your responsibility. “

—James Baldwin
