Yoga Sūtra-s of Patanjali
Interpretation by Śrī Sādaśiva Brahmendra Sarasvati
Yoga Sudhākara
Pada II: Sādhana Pāda
Sūtra 9
[This Sūtra talks about the reason for the deep love for life in all living beings. As a result of this love, fear of death is experienced.]
Sūtra 9:
Flowing on by its own power of attachment, experienced even by the learned scholar, is love for life.
The terrible fear which grows and flows by its own power to cling to life [this is the nature of this Kleśa], even a learned scholar would behave like a confused fool [because he cannot remember all he learned when he is affected by fear], is called abhiniveśaḥ.
Because of the memory of the pain of death from previous life-time, all living beings from a worm to the wise, experience the fear of death, which appears as a pain to separate from their belongings including the body etc. They experience this fear moment to moment, without any reason. That long-lasting fear is called abhiniveśaḥ; this is the meaning of this Sūtra.
[The body and mind are considered as the belongings of the Jīvātma who dwells in them for the time being during the present life-time.]
