A Sutra (aphorism) enshrines in a few words, vast expanses of meaning, vast depths of fundamental significance. The Brahma Sutras gather multi-coloured flowers from all the Upanishads and string them together to form an enchanting garland. Each aphorism can be elaborated and explained in a number of learned ways, according to one's understanding, faith, preference, experience and pleasure.

Steady perseverance alone will tame the mind. - Baba
