MIND

YOGAYOGAH CITTAVRTTI NIRODHAH

YOGA IS TO GAIN MASTERY OVER THE MIND

- PATANJALI(900 BC)

Stress according to Patanjali

Maharsi Patanjali uses the term klesa which aptly describes stress. In his text ‘Yoga Sutras’ the klesas have been described thus:

Avidya, asmita, raga, dwesha, abhiniveshaha, pancha klesa

(P.Y.S : 2.3)

The lack of awareness of Reality, the sense of egoism or ‘I-am-ness’, attractions and repulsions towards objects and the strong desire for life are the great afflictions or

cause of all miseries in life.

The whole process of origin of stress, its development, aggravation, and repercussions are narrated in a dramatic manner:

Dhyayato visayanpunsa sangastheshuupajayate, Sangat sanjayate kama, kamat krodho abhijayate

(Gita : 2.62) Thinking of objects, attachment to them is formed in a person,

from attachment longing, and from longing anger grows.

Krodhadbhavati sammohaha sammohatsmrithivibhrama.Smrhitibhransadbuddhinshaha uddhinasatpranashayati.

(Gita : 2.62) From anger comes delusion, and from delusion loss of memory. From loss of memory comes the ruin of discrimination, and from

the ruin of discrimination he perishes.
