Afflictions causing disturbance are lack of spiritual awareness, misapprehension, ego, desire, passion, greed, hate, jealousy, attachment to life, fear, anxiety and sorrow.Yoga Sutra 2-3 Audio mp3

Page 7: The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali

spiritual awareness and ignorance. Others afflictions have bloomed and are fully active. Yoga Sutra 2-4 Audio mp3

Light shines on nature revealing 3 qualities. Its ability to absorb and reflect light. Its vibration and constant change and its shape and density. This and the elements are perceived through the five senses, engaged with the five organs of action and considered with the mind. Nature's pleasures can seduce the seer unless the seer remains disengaged for the sake of liberation and freedom.Yoga Sutra 2-18 Audio mp3

It may or may not be apparent but nature's 3 qualities and all that is seen is in continual change. A greater intelligence may be seen in everything creating a perception of unity in all that is. Yoga Sutra 2-19 Audio mp3

These seven aspects are self restraint, universal laws, sacred posture, regulation of breath, control and restraint of the senses, concentration and meditation. With their practice comes the eighth aspect of Yoga. This is a state of being absolutely absorbed in the source of life.Yoga Sutra 2-29 Audio mp3

In the practice of the first aspect the following is considered. Non-violence, honesty, non-stealing, celibacy, study of scripture and not possessing or consuming that which is unnecessary. These are universal laws.Yoga Sutra 2-30 Audio mp3

This first aspect called Yama is unaffected by time, environment, class, and intelligence.Yoga Sutra 2-31 Audio mp3

The second aspect is Niyama. This is Cleanliness and purity, contentment, deep spiritual faith, spiritual practice and surrender to god.Yoga Sutra 2-32 Audio mp3

Reflect upon the positive aspect of existence to remove the negative. Yoga Sutra 2-33 Audio mp3

Violence in thought, word or action, desire, greed, lust and anger, illusion, obsession, suffering and fear all rise from ignorance and lack of true intellectual awareness.
