Yoga Sutra 4.4



nirmāṇa-cittāni-asmitā-mātrāt


The shaping of psyches is done through the strength of an intimate relationship


There are many different interpretations to the Sanskrit word “asmitā” and this aphorism. 


In the context of individual transformation, it tends to refer to a special person/guru or entity that makes a difference.  This transforming influence can only result from a deep connection between the parties.  The strength of this relationship with this special person/guru or entity can thereby help show you your (true) Self.
