In the episode, we discuss sutras 13 to 20 of the second chapter of Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras.
These sutras and their classical commentaries go deep into explaining the root of the obstacles to yogic enlightenment. This root is the mixing up of spirit and matter. Sutra 15 reflects the first noble truth of the Buddha: life is suffering. For Patanjali this is a healthy acceptance of reality that allows us to unplug from habits that perpetuate this suffering.
The suffering consists of trying to find ourselves in material things that we project ourselves into. With a healthy relationship to matter, we can engage with this energy in a way that helps us attain enlightenment.
