Now, the exposition of the discipline of Yoga that is to be followed, begins.
The four functional characteristics of the ‘Inner-doer’: Mind, Chitta, Intellect (Buddhi), and the constant humming of awareness that ‘I am the doer / I am experiencing.’ (Ego)
(I.2)
Yoga is complete cessation of the ‘Chitta-vrittis’.
(I.3)
Then the Seer abides in its own form.
(I.4)
At other times it appears of the same form as is taken by the ‘Chitta-vritti’.
(I.30)
Disease, Mental laziness, Doubt, Carelessness, Sloth, Craving for sense-pleasure, Delusion, Despair caused by failure to attain solid ground in a given field and inability to maintain this ground when attained – these ‘distractions’ (i.e. the restless ‘Chitta’ being thrown variously) of the ‘Chitta’ are the Obstacles.
(I.31)
Suffering, Despondency, Trembling, Irregular breathing accompany the distractions.
(II.16)
Suffering yet to come can be avoided , nay! IS to be avoided. (Then you are liberated).
(II.28)
By the daily practice of precisely the same routine of the limbs of the body-yogique, the psycho-somatic impurities disappear and there arises illumination of knowledge, which culminates in discriminative discernment.
