पतंजलि योग सूत्र के दूसरे भाग साधनपाद के आधार पर जानें ‘अविद्या’ को दुख का प्रमुख कारण क्यों कहा गया है।
Life is full of new challenges and struggles, which often lead to suffering. This suffering can manifest as physical discomfort as well as various mental health issues like stress, anxiety, depression, overthinking, etc. In general, people struggle to identify the underlying reason for suffering and how to get rid of it. Through the Sadhanpada (the second chapter of the Patanjali Yoga Sutras), Maharishi Patanjali points out the primary cause of all our sufferings – अविद्या (Ignorance). ‘Avidya’ isn’t just about having a lack of knowledge, but also about staying attached to wrongful beliefs. Thus, as per the Yog Sutras, we suffer because the fundamental knowledge and beliefs are wrong and inadequate.
In Episode 24, the Master describes Kriya Yoga’s role in helping us rise above our sufferings.
