#50. How to choose a meditation posture | Yoga Sutras of Patanjali
Patanjali says that Asana (a meditation posture) is what is steady, comfortable for you. It could be any posture. But the interesting thing is when you start experimenting with your body postures, you will find out that for longer sittings, only a handful of postures that are variations of lotus posture are appropriate. Try it out for yourself.
Then he says, by practicing restfulness and by meditating on the infinite, a meditation posture is mastered. Once that happens, all dualities disappear.

#49. 3 tools for selfknowledge: Introspection, Self-awareness, Witnessing | Yoga Sutras of Patanjali
There is no standard education or training for knowing yourself. Patanjali offers 3 ways of self-study:
1. Introspection: Intellectual refection using thoughts to understand oneself, also supplemented by books.
2. Self-awareness: To become more aware of oneself in situations without judgment or interference of thought.
3. Witnessing: There is no thought, there is no self..Only pure awareness.
