61 – Regulating Relations With All to See God Everywhere | Patanjali Yoga Sutras | Swami Tattwamayananda - a podcast by Vedanta Society, San Francisco

Lecture by Swami Tattwamayananda. The lecture begins with a review of Prarabdha, Sanchita, and Agami Karma. The mind becomes steady when the spiritual idea, the God idea comes automatically. Then, life and death are both spiritual experiences. The four qualities – friendliness, compassion, admiration, and indifference- towards the happy, unhappy, virtuous, and negative help us to regulate all external relations. They are essential for achieving Chitta Prasada, clarity of mind needed for spiritual life. By Samyama on these qualities, we acquire these qualities. The highest devotee sees God everywhere and everything in God but at the same time knows how to deal with negative factors. Verses: III.23, III.24
