May 4, 2022
“न साधना में, न संसार में, न परमार्थ में, न आत्मार्थ में – अभ्यास के बिना सफलता संभव नहीं”
तत्र स्थितौ यत्नोऽभ्यास: (tatra sthitau yatno abhyasah) – The Sutra 13 of Samadhipada (first chapter of the Patanjali Yog Sutra) says, that without a solid foundation of Abhyas, one can neither cultivate long-lasting success in his worldly materialistic endeavors nor can he achieve any real progress on the Spiritual Path. The absence of Abhyas is the primary reason behind a dissatisfactory outcome and subsequently, an unpleasant (अक्लिष्ट) life experience. Abhyas is the only way to become proficient.
But what is the art of Abhyas? What are the essential steps one needs to take while entering into Abhyas?
Having established the need for Abhyas in Sutra 12 (previous episode), Sri Guru now propounds upon the three important rules of Abhyas that one ought to follow in order to achieve true success. Sri Guru also reveals an amazing “Success Formula” to get the most out of our efforts.
In the second part of Episode #8, Sri Guru explains the meaning of Vairagya as envisioned by Maharishi Patanjali in his Yog Sutras. We get some beautiful insights about the true experience that blossoms within a “Param Vairagi”.
