Description
Lecture by Swami Tattwamayananda. This lecture begins with a reminder of the mental blocks that come from the accumulated Samskaras in our Antahkarana. We can restrain the Vrittis by the practice of feeding good tendencies and remaining indifferent to the negative tendencies of the mind. Swami then discusses the Ishavasya Upanishad’s concept of enjoying the world by renouncing it. The fifteenth and sixteenth sutras discuss the lower and higher stages of Vairagyam, dispassion. At the higher stage, even the idea of craving for worldly enjoyment vanishes. From dispassion comes Samadhi, concentration, which yields many superhuman powers of the mind. The example of Swami Vivekananda memorizing an encyclopedia is given. The seventeenth sutra lists the types of this Samprajnata Samadhi. Verses: I.12, I.15, I.16, I.17
