Yoga Sutras And The World Of Human Mind

Lecture by Swami Tattwamayananda. The lecture begins with explaining Yoga philosophy and Vedanta philosophy’s approaches to defining our fundamental misunderstanding that we are a psychophysical mechanism. We take the unreal to be the real. In Yoga, this is a cognitive error, but in Vedanta, this is taken as a fundamental category for the explanation of reality. Then the power of genuine surrender to God is illustrated by the example of a bohemian turned into a saint through contact with Sri Ramakrishna. Verses: II.3, II.4, II.5, I.8, II.1, I.28
