OBSTACLES ON THE PATH OF YOGA, Patanjali
9 Obstacles on the Path we might experience in our daily lives that make it difficult to achieve things.
Vyadhi-disease or physical disease
Styana– apathy, depression, lack of interest, boredom
Samsaya– doubt
Pramada– procrastination
Alasya– laziness
Avirati– craving
Bhrantidarsana– false vision, living in illusion
Alabdhabhumikatva– unsteady condition of mind
Anavasthitatva– inability to maintain achievement
Avirati (craving, trying to learn or do everything in a very short period of time) is the one I used to relate to the most (still a bit now!) but not the only one. Unfortunately, they work very well together, once I trigger the Avirati then Alabdhabhumikatva appears because I feel overwhelmed and I start to have issues staying on the journey and Anavasthiatatva… I can keep going and going but let’s say those ones are pretty much my combination!
