35 – Spiritual Awakening: Viveka-Khyati | Patanjali Yoga Sutras | Swami Tattwamayananda - a podcast by Vedanta Society, San Francisco

Lecture by Swami Tattwamayananda. When a person reaches the stage of Parinama Duhkha, a divine discontentment, then spiritual discernment liberates from the ignorance of our true nature. In Vedanta, we say that each soul is potentially divine. The goal is to manifest the divinity within by controlling nature, both external and internal. This can be done through Karma-Yoga, selfless action, Bhakti-Yoga, love of God in everything and everybody, or Raja-Yoga, psychic control as described in the Yoga Sutras. In the twenty-sixth sutra, this freedom is attained through the practice of Viveka-Khyati, uninterrupted higher discerning faculty. Verses: II.24, II.25, II.26
