52 – The Emergence of a Secondary Personality | Patanjali Yoga Sutras | Swami Tattwamayananda

Lecture by Swami Tattwamayananda. The four fundamental values of Dharma, Artha, Kama, and Moksha are discussed. Yoga sutras teach the method for treating the disease of Sarvarthata, mind chasing after every kind of thing by indirectly purifying the mental system through the practice of Yamas and Niyamas. Ekagrata, one-pointedness, allows us to learn from our experiences. In spiritual life, we actually develop a secondary personality, which witnesses the first personality and slowly develops into our spiritual personality. When concentration, Ekagrata, is achieved, the same cognition, Pratyaya, comes in a stream and there is no conflict. The mind becomes sharp and you do not forget. Verses: III.11, III.12
