पातञ्जल योगसूत्र (स्वामी विवेकानन्द भाष्य एवं सूत्र व्याख्या)

Patanjali Yoga Sutras
31. ततः कृतार्थानां परिणामक्रमपरिसमाप्तिर्गुणानाम् ॥३१॥
tatah kritarthanan parinamakramapari
samaptirgunanam
Then are finished the successive transformations of
the qualities, they having attained the end.
Then all these various transformations of the qualities, which change
from species to species, cease forever.
32. क्षणप्रतियोगी परिणामापरान्तनिग्राह्यः क्रमः ॥३२॥
kshannapratiyogi parinamaparantanigrarhyah
kramah
The changes that exist in relation to moments, and
which are perceived at the other end (at the end of a
series) are succession.
Patanjali here defines the word succession, the changes that
exist in relation to moments. While I am thinking, many
moments pass, and with each moment there is a change of
idea, but we only perceive these changes at the end of a series.
So, perception of time is always in the memory. This is called
succession, but for the mind that has realised omnipresence
all these have finished. Everything has become present for
it; the present alone exists, the past and future are lost. This
stands controlled, and all knowledge is there in one second.
Everything is known like a flash.
