38 – Countering the 27 Types of Mental Pollution | Patanjali Yoga Sutras | Swami Tattwamayananda - a podcast by Vedanta Society, San Francisco

Lecture by Swami Tattwamayananda. The Yamas, ethical disciplines, form the basis of spiritual culture. The Niyamas, practices of purity and concentration, generate energy. Niyamas without Yamas can be dangerous. A spiritual seeker becomes aware of his Vitarkas, negative thought currents. By holding to a high spiritual ideal, we automatically counter all negative thought currents. The 27 types of negative thought currents are discussed and we are reminded of the great danger of being tempted by them. Verses: II.30, II.31, II.32, II.33, II.34
