Abstract

Description

Babaji explains Patañjali’s Kriyā Yoga (tapaḥ—self-discipline, svādhyāya—self-study, Īśvara-praṇidhāna—surrender) as a means to purify the mind, attenuate kleśa (afflictions: ignorance, ego, attachment, aversion, fear), and attain samādhi. Avidyā (ignorance) is the root of all afflictions, and their reduction enables realization of the distinction between puruṣa and prakṛti.
