Yoga Sutras And The World Of Human Mind

Lecture by Swami Tattwamayananda. Swami explains the Yogachara Buddhist notion of momentariness of experience. He then explains the cycle of action, Karma, mental modification, Vritti, and then strong potent tendency, Samskara. By gathering the mind into one great modification, the diversity of conflicting Vrittis can be controlled. This is called Samprajnata Samadhi. Finally, the important disciplines of non-receiving, Aparigraha, and self-study, Svadhyaya are discussed. Verses: I.12, I.13, I.14, I.15, I.16, I.17
