I am pleased to present an audio recording of the monthly workshop on the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali held on Saturday, 2/15/20.
Sutras covered:
- Sutra 2.10: te pratiprasava-heyāḥ sūkṣmāḥ ॥10॥
In subtle form, these afflictions can be destroyed by resolving them back into their primal cause. - Sutra 2.11: dhyāna heyāḥ tad-vr̥ttayaḥ ॥11॥
In the active state, they can be destroyed by meditation. - Sutra 2.12: kleśa-mūlaḥ karma-aśayoḥ dr̥ṣṭa-adr̥ṣṭa-janma-vedanīyaḥ ॥12॥
The womb of karmas (actions and reactions) has its root in these afflictions (kleshas), and the fruits of the karmas bring experiences in the seen [present] or in the unseen [future] births. - Sutra 2.13: sati mūle tad-vipāko jāty-āyur-bhogāḥ ॥13॥
With the existence of the root, there will be fruits also: namely, the births of different species of life, their life spans and experiences.
