YOGA IS THE SKILL TO CALM DOWN THE MIND

YOGAH CITTAVRTTI NIRODHAH
YOGA IS TO GAIN MASTERY OVER THE MIND
- PATANJALI(900 BC)

8. 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.

9. 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.
Stress according to Bhagvad Geeta
