Contd., from previous one……..
So yogi attains the stage of Kaivalya {absolute
understanding by virtue of his meticulous pursuit. Such ways and means have
been prescribed in Saadhan-Paad, the second section of Patanjali Yoga Philosophy
for those ones who have had their present birth in normal circumstance, passing
their life afflicted with various desires and suffering with mental affection
& malice for desirable-undesirable matters, so that they may achieve growth
of self-soul perception gradually, getting rid of the contrariety &
filthiness of heart. And their intellect gets purified to make them eligible to
attain the stage of Kaivalya {absolute understanding}. Therefore it has been
said in the very first Couplet of Saadhan-Paad---‘Penance, studying scriptures
or the religious theories and so on and practicing meditation mentality towards
Supreme Being or Supreme Soul used to be called yogic exertion’. The person who
used not to be fully attentive to check his improper passions therefore remains
unable to attain asceticism attributable to getting effected with impressions
carried along with from his earlier births, should make effort to control his
body, wishful intellect and restraint sense organs through atonement, he should
also get prudent, intelligent and ingenious through studying theologies and get
accustomed to offer the outcome of all own-efforts wholeheartedly to Supreme
Being or Supreme Soul, following such a enthusiastic pursuit for quite some
time all fanciful impurities shall surely get away and aptness will be achieved
to practice yoga thoroughly. As long as mental attitudes shall not get purified
yogic activities cannot impart fruitful outcome any further. After describing
five distresses {Viz., Avidhya-false statistics, Asmita-egotism, Raga-likes, Dvesh—dislikes,
Abhinivesh--fear of death} Saadhan-Paad enumerates ways and means to eradicated
these ones from own life.
