Yogasutra Sadhanapada - 2 & 3
Sri Sadgurubhyoh namaha
Meaning : Kriya yoga purpose is to remove suffering and ensue bliss of samadhi. Here we have to remember the words of Buddha, "Life is full of suffering ; There is an end to suffering ; etc" . Realising that oneself is in suffering itself is a big step towards salvation.
3. avidya asmita raga dvesha abhinivesha pancha klesha
Meaning : The 5 kleshas (difficulties) are ,
Avidya : Ignorance.
Asmita : Asmita arises out of Avidya. Mistaken identification. Can somebody answer 'who am I?' . Asmita means Subject identifying with the object.
Raga : Attachment to. Mind gets attached to what it likes. Usually it is the pleasure that we are after. Not getting pleasure is a klesha.
Dvesha : Hatred, or repulsion. Mind repulses what it dislikes. Truth is repulsed if it is bitter. What is pain and suffering is repulsed by mind.
Not able to get rid of the disliked thing is a klesha.
Abhinivesha : Fear of cessation, fear of loss, death, discontinuity. Desire for continuity. Why do we fear death ? because it is a cessation of our means of happiness (life). As long as there is fear of death, that means we are not fully happy at any time. A fully satisfied, happy person wouldnt mind a cessation of life, as he has drawn what life has to offer.
