Yoga Sutras And The World Of Human Mind

Lecture by Swami Tattwamayananda. The lecture begins with a review of Prarabdha, Sanchita, and Agami Karma. The mind becomes steady when the spiritual idea, the God idea comes automatically. Then, life and death are both spiritual experiences. The four qualities – friendliness, compassion, admiration, and indifference- towards the happy, unhappy, virtuous, and negative help us to regulate all external relations. They are essential for achieving Chitta Prasada, clarity of mind needed for spiritual life. By Samyama on these qualities, we acquire these qualities. The highest devotee sees God everywhere and everything in God but at the same time knows how to deal with negative factors. Verses: III.23, III.24
