65 – Atha: The Spiritual Fitness of the Seeker | Patanjali Yoga Sutras | Swami Tattwamayananda - a podcast by Vedanta Society, San Francisco

Lecture by Swami Tattwamayananda. Meaning of words can be conventional or can be etymological. Atha means fitness for taking to spiritual life or Yoga. You can take practice Yamas and Niyamas or take refuge in God to gain fitness. At the end of the dark night of the soul comes complete submission to God. The earlier stages of Kshiptam and Vikshiptam, restlessness, can be overcome. By reaching Nirodha, we become free from conflicts, the cycle of Karma and Vrittis and the duality of experience. Verses: I.1, II.2
