पातञ्जल योगसूत्र (स्वामी विवेकानन्द भाष्य एवं सूत्र व्याख्या)

Patanjali Yoga Sutras
competition is necessary to progress. In the animal the man
was suppressed, but, as soon as the door was opened, out
rushed man. So, in man there is the potential god, kept in by
the locks and bars of ignorance. When knowledge breaks
these bars the god becomes manifest.
4. निर्माणचित्तान्यस्मितामात्रात् ॥ ४॥
nirmannachittanyasmitamatrat
From egoism alone proceed the created minds.
The theory of Karma is that we suffer for our good or bad
deeds, and the whole scope of philosophy is to approach the
glory of man. All the Scriptures sing the glory of man, of the
soul, and then, with the same breath, they preach this Karma.
A good deed brings such a result, and a bad deed such a result,
but, if the soul can be acted upon by a good or a bad deed it
amounts to nothing. Bad deeds put a bart to the manifestation
of our nature, of the Purusa, and good deeds take the
obstacles off, and its glory becomes manifest. But the PuruSa
itself is never changed. Whatever you do never destroys
your own glory, your own nature, because the soul cannot be
acted upon by anything, only a veil is spread before it, hiding
its perfection.
5. प्रवृत्तिभेदे प्रयोजकं चित्तम् एकम् अनेकेषाम् ॥ ५॥
pravrittibhede prayojakam chittam ekam anekesham
Though the activities of the different created minds
are various, the one original mind is the controller of
them all.
