One Develops Clarity of Mind By... | Yoga Sutra I.33-39

The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali

Yoga Sutra I.33-I.39

I.33 One develops clarity of mind by cultivating an attitude of celebration and friendship for people who are happy, and compassion toward people who are in indifferent, sweetness to people who are suffering, an example of equanimity to those who are non-virtuous.

I.34 Or by exhaling and retaining the breath.

I.35 Or when focusing the mind on a sense object, steadiness of mind arises.

I.36 Or when the mind is pain free and luminous.

I.37 Or when the mind is free from desire as its object.

I.38 Or through direct knowledge, supported by dreams and sleep.

I.39 Or from meditation on anything that is agreeable.
