पातञ्जल योगसूत्र (स्वामी विवेकानन्द भाष्य एवं सूत्र व्याख्या)

Patanjali Yoga Sutras
the organs, and fitness for the realisation of the Self.
By this practice the Sattva material will prevail, and the mind
will become concentrated and cheerful. The first sign that you
are become religious is that you are becoming cheerful. When
a man is gloomy that may be dyspepsia, but it is not religion.
A pleasurable feeling is the nature of the Sattva. Everything is
pleasurable to the Sattvika man, and when this comes, know
that you are progressing in Yoga. All pain is caused by Tamas,
so you must get rid of that; moroseness is one of the results of
Tamas. The strong, the well-knit, the young, the healthy, the
daring alone are fit to be Yogis. To the Yogi everything is bliss,
every human face that he sees brings cheerfulness to him.
That is the sign of a virtuous man. Misery is caused by sin,
and by no other cause. What business have you with clouded
faces; it is terrible. If you have a clouded face do not go out
that day, shut yourself up in your room. What right have you
to carry this disease out into the world? When your mind has
become controlled you will have control over the whole body;
instead of being a slave to the machine, the machine will be
your slave. Instead of this machine being able to drag the soul
down it will be its greatest helpmate.
