Excerpts from Gurudevs discourse on the Patanjali Yoga Sutras
We have considered the nine possible obstacles in the path of Yoga. There is no tenth obstacle. Every possible obstacle has been included in these nine categories.
Sage Patanjali was a scientist. In just a few words, he had said all that was to be said; that needed to be said. Along with these nine obstacles, the five indications, or signs of a disturbed mind are mentioned:
dukha – sadness,
dourmanasya – bitterness,
angamejayatva – restlessness in the body, or lack of co-ordination in the body,
bhrantidarshan – hallucination and
shwaasa prashwaasa – irregular breathing – imbalance of your incoming and outgoing breath.
