I have been increasingly aware of my need to start my days in a more contented place, especially given that my work all week long is service work by my choice. So, could you direct me to Yoga Sutras that deal with santosa, the cultivation of contentment. I love meditating on the Yoga Sutras but it often feels intellectual to me and I lose my connection, so having your translation and direction to specific sections is priceless.
See the Yamas on santosa II, 42 also sutras that talk about the nature of yoga – invocation at front of my Yoga Sutra book, and II, 1-11.
