पातञ्जल योगसूत्र (स्वामी विवेकानन्द भाष्य एवं सूत्र व्याख्या)

Patanjali Yoga Sutras
29. ततः प्रत्यक्चेतनाधिगमोऽप्यन्तरायाभावश्च ॥ २९॥
tatah pratyakchetanadhigamopyantarayabhavashch
From that is gain (the knowledge of) introspection,
and the destruction of obstacles.
The first manifestation of this repetition and thinking of Om
will be that the introspective power will be manifested more
and more, and all the mental and physical obstacles will begin
to vanish. What are the obstacles to the Yogi?
30. व्याधिस्त्यानसंशयप्रमादालस्याविरतिभ्रान्तिदर्शनालब्धभूमिक -
त्वानवस्थितत्वानि चित्तविक्षेपास्तेऽन्तरायाः ॥ ३०॥
vyadhistyanasanshayapramadalasyaviratibhrantidar
shanalabdhabhoomikatvanavasthitatvani
chittavikshepastentarayah
Disease, mental laziness, doubt, calmness, cessation,
false perception, non-attaining concentration, and
falling away from the state when obtained, are the
obstructing distractions.
Disease. This body is the boat which will carry us to the other
shore of the ocean of life. It must be taken care of. Unhealthy
persons cannot be Yogis. Mental laziness makes us lose all
lively interest in the subject, without which there will neither
be the will nor the energy to practice. Doubts will arise in the
mind about the truth of the science, however strong one’s
intellectual conviction may be, until certain peculiar psychic
experiences come, as hearing, or seeing, at a distance, etc.
