Yoga Sūtra-s of Patanjali
Interpretation by Śrī Sādaśiva Brahmendra Sarasvati
Yoga Sudhākara
Pada II: Sādhana Pāda
Sūtra 7
The nature of Rāga, the internal attachment, is described here-
Sūtra 7:
The attraction which happens sequentially after the memory of an experience of pleasure is the internal attachment.
The one who has experienced pleasure will naturally remember the pleasure with attraction and desire. The desire to repeat the experience of the same pleasure is called internal attachment.
[Internal attachment is experienced as uncontrollably recurring thoughts in mind. The desire to experience the same pleasure repeatedly is the reason for this recurring thought. Attachment towards the pleasure as well as towards the pleasurable objects are both can be known as the cause for unhappiness.]
