Description
Lecture by Swami Tattwamayananda. Spiritual practice is bitter at the beginning and sweet at the end. When Japa matures and our mind ascends, we find the obstacles to spiritual practice disappearing. Patanjali gives a comprehensive list of psychological obstacles. Being aware of them clears the way for further progress. A sense of sanctity for spiritual practice, Shraddha, neutralizes most of these obstacles. The first set of obstacles are Vyadhi, Styana, Samshaya, Pramada, Alasya, Avirati – Disease, Languor, Doubts, Carelessness, Lethargy, Pleasure-Seeking. These are the manifestations of the unspiritual Samskaras still in the mind. Verses: I.27, I.28, I.29, I.30
