#YogaSutra #Patanjali - #Sutra28 « Yoga Sutra-28 with the commentary of Vyasa and the gloss of Vachaspati Miara : On the destruction of impurity by the sustained Practice of the accessories of Yoga, the light of wisdom reaches up to discriminative knowledge. » The Yoga Sutras of #Patañjali by #EdwinFBryant The accessories of Yoga are eight (also called:the Eight Limbs of Yoga ) « Asamprajñātasamādhi : is the highest stage of the eighth and final limb of yoga presented by Patañjali to attain this lofty goal. » These eight limbs are 1. Yama (abstentions, moral restraints) 2. Niyama (ethical observances) 3. Asana (posture Prāṇāyāma (breath control) Pratyāhāra (withdrawal of the senses) Dhāraṇā (concentration) Dhyāna (meditation) Samādhi (Trance - full meditative absorption or Enlightenment) The first limb, the #Yamas, are nonviolence, truthfulness, refraining from stealing, celibacy, and refraining from coveting. They deal with how the aspiring yogī relates to others. Obviously, if one’s goals are to remove consciousness from identification with the body and the mind, one must curb activities that pander to the grosser urges of the body—violence, stealing, deceit, sexual exploitation,💥and coveting are generally performed with a view to improving one’s bodily or material situation and must be resisted by one striving for transcendent goals. The second limb, the #Niyamas, are cleanliness, contentment, austerity, study [of scripture], and devotion to God. These deal with how the yogī cultivates his or her own lifestyle. Once the cruder and more destructive potentials of the body are curtailed by following the yamas of the first limb, consciousness can be turned more inward toward personal refinement. Each limb furthers and deepens this internal progression. The third limb, #Asana, focuses on stretches and postures with a view to preparing the yogī’s body to sit for prolonged periods in meditation. It is this aspect of yoga that has been most visibly exported to the West but too often stripped from its context as one ingredient in a more ambitious and far-reaching sequence. While successful performance of the third limb begins the focusing of attention and stilling of the mind, the fourth limb, #Prāṇāyāma, furthers this process through fixing the mind on breath control. By regulating and slowing the movement of breath, the mind too becomes regulated and quiescent.💥The fifth limb, #Pratyāhāra, withdrawal of the senses, deepens the process by removing consciousness from all engagement with the sense objects (sight, sound, taste, smell, touch). This is followed by the three final limbs: #Dhāraṇā, #Dhyāna, and #Samādhi (which Patañjali divides into seven rather esoteric stages). The last three limbs are essentially different degrees of concentrative intensity and culminate in the realization by awareness of its own nature, asamprajñātasamādhi. The Yoga Sūtras, in fact, is primarily a manual for the practitioner rather than an exposition of Yoga philosophy. ==== #Patanjali #Quote : A mind free from all disturbances is Yoga. #Mindfulness #Wisdom / #Cita : yoga es el cese de las fluctuaciones de la mente. #AtenciónPlena #Sabiduría #Patanjali / #Citation : Le Yoga est l'arrêt des perturbations du mental. #PleineConscience #Sagesse #Patanjali /
