Subject of this seminar: "Samadhi and Sadhana Pada" - Chapters 3 and 4
Patañjali’s Yoga Sūtras are the classical work of the Yoga School of thought, one of the Six Darśanas studied in the Bhakti Tirtha course. They focus on how to attain direct experience and realization of the puruṣa, or the individual self. As the classical treatise on the Vedic understanding of the mind and consciousness and on techniques of meditation and self-realization, it has exerted immense influence over the religious practices of Hinduism in India and, more recently, in the West. For Vaiṣṇavas, the Yoga Sūtras are especially helpful in understanding the first two chapters of Bhakti-rasāmṛita-sindhu.
If it was possible to make a change by being in anxiety, then you should take out more time for worrying. Schedule it as part of your day, just like taking time each day for eating. But, it doesn’t work like that. Most of the time people worry for no good reason. Worrying does not accomplish anything other than distract you from the present moment, where peace patiently awaits you.
