S.E. Waldo's description of how the Swami dictated the book
Miss S. Ellen Waldo of Brooklyn , a disciple of the Swami, was his amanuensis. She described the manner in which he dictated Raja Yoga:
'In delivering his commentaries on the aphorisms, he would leave me waiting while he entered into deep states of meditation or self-contemplation, to emerge therefrom with some luminous interpretation. I had always to keep the pen dipped in the ink. He might be absorbed for long periods of time, and then suddenly his silence would be broken by some eager expression or some long, deliberate teaching.'
