As you progress in your practice, the cloud of affications and obstavles in life interfree less and less. They disperse revealing the glory of the soul’s eternity.
What happens as we grow spiritually? Is there a step-by-step process that everyone goes through—all spiritual seekers, including those of any or no religious persuasion—as they gradually work their way upward, until they achieve the highest state of Self-realization? About 2200 years ago, a great spiritual master of India named Patanjali described this process, and presented humanity with a clear-cut, step-by-step outline of how all truth seekers and saints achieve divine union. He called this universal inner experience and process “yoga” or “union.” His collection of profound aphorisms—a true world scripture—has been dubbed Patanjali's Yoga Sutras. Unfortunately, since that ...
This book contains not only the matured intellectual vision of Yogacarya, but takes the sadhaka into the interior parts of the consciousness to savour the true essence of life-force-the Seer.
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The word citta has been translated as mind in the West.

About the Book Patañjali’s Yogasūtra: A Psychological Study is an attempt at an English translation of Patañjali’s Yogasūtra with commentary rendered in current psychological idiom.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The first and foremost scripture of Yoga is the Yoga Sūtras, which were written by the sage Patañjali. Within these two hundred short sūtras, the entire science of Yoga is clearly delineated. #2 The goal of yoga is to control the rising of the mind into ripples. When the mind is controlled, you experience yoga. The Yogic experience is gained by controlling the modifications of the mind. #3 If you can control your thought forms, you are not bound by the outside world. You can make the world a heaven or a hell, depending on your attitude. Then there is nothing in this world to bind you. #4 The Seer, or true you, is reflected in the mind which is your mirror. Normally, you can't see the true Self because your mind is colored. To see the true reflection, see that the water is clean and calm and without any ripples.
