3.53-3.55 Higher discrimination through samyama
Here both swamji and Iyengar speak about living in the smallest unit of time, the moment. Swamji compares it to a movie film which is made up of thousands or hundred of thousands of slides which only appear to be seamless. Iyengar gives his reasoning for being harsh and demanding of this students, so that for the 90mins of his yoga class they are totally focused on themselves and yoga, not the outside world of work, family or friends. Beyond the tool of samyama is discrimination. This is the tool used to bring the yogini to the perfect pinnacle of yoga, free of all attachments external and internal, and the mirror/window of ignorance has been wiped clear, that of kaivalya.
