Yoga Sūtra-s of Patanjali
Interpretation by Śrī Sādaśiva Brahmendra Sarasvati
Yoga Sudhākara
Pada II: Sādhana Pāda
Sūtra 10
Earlier in the beginning of this chapter, the nature of Karmayoga [Kriyāyoga as Patanjali calls it in Sūtra No II-01] was explained. [Tapas, Svādhyāya and Īśvarapraṇidhāna are practised together is called Kriyāyoga.] The active causes for unhappiness were weakened by the practice of Karmayoga. [Sūtra No II-02 says kleśatanūkaraṇārthaśca. The practice of Kriyāyoga is also for weakening the active causes of unhappiness. Gaining a one-pointed state of mind is another benefit of Kriyāyoga. samādhibhāvanārthaḥ.] The remaining subtle and potential causes of unhappiness can be eradicated by realising Puruṣa, separated from the body-mind unit; this was already explained. [The Sūtra No I-16 says that “through the realisation of Puruṣa all the seed of tendencies will be destroyed."] When these potential causes of unhappiness are burned by self-realisation, their roots also need to be uprooted completely. [Otherwise, it is their nature to reappear to cause more unhappiness in life.] The method to uproot the root cause of unhappiness is described in this Sūtra.
Sūtra 10:
The potential cause of unhappiness should be eradicated by going back to the root.
When the mind leaves its individuality and blends with its original nature, that state of mind is called pratiprasavaḥ [moving against the direction of creation]. The potential cause of unhappiness can be eradicated through this state of mind. When the mind loses its individuality, the latent tendencies also become inactive. The potential causes of unhappiness are these latent tendencies in the mind. Along with the individuality of the mind, all such tendencies which are the potential causes of unhappiness are also permanently eradicated.
[Through Kriyāyoga the Kleśa-s become weak. When Puruṣa is separated from Prakṛti in Dhyāna, the mind loses its individuality. As a result of this self-realisation the potential causes of unhappiness which are the latent tendencies are also removed and cleared in the individual.]
