As a result of their past actions, they suffer again and again without breaking the cycle of births and deaths. \u003cbr\u003e Desires cause them to embody and reembody in the world. \u003cbr\u003e Once in embodiment, the individual seeks happiness and avoids pain and sorrow. \u003cbr\u003e Pleasure and\/or pain is reaped in this life according to past good and bad actions. \u003cbr\u003e Moreover, in order to be happy in this world, one should also suffer because happiness and suffering are relative. There is no escape from suffering until all desires themselves are dissolved, or transcended. \u003cbr\u003e Perfect Happiness can only be found in Peace, or Shanti. \u003cbr\u003e How can one find Peace? \u003cbr\u003e There is no other means for finding Peace except through the practice of Yoga. By the practice of Yoga, the tremendously restless heart becomes calm. Not only does the heart become calm by Yoga practice, but longevity is also increased. The body becomes healthy, and absolute Knowledge is gained. \u003cbr\u003e Who can tell how long a man will remain alive? \u003cbr\u003e It is well known that even ordinary people, without mentioning Yogis, can live up to one-hundred to one-hundred-fifty years. It is also admitted that, starting with the body in the mother's womb up to the age of eighty, individuals are faced with premature death. \u003cbr\u003e What is the cause of premature death? \u003cbr\u003e How can one prevent it? \u003cbr\u003e Who is also lucky not to be afflicted with hereditary ill-health or premature death? \u003cbr\u003e Individuals themselves are the cause of their own death. It will become clear when one analyzes the nature of his restless activities and desires in search of Happiness. \u003cbr\u003e What could be more desirable than to enjoy Peace with a steadfast heart? \u003cbr\u003e It In not so easy to remain steadfastly calm no matter what happens in life. But why in this not possible? Where is one's command over the mind? \u003cbr\u003e One shall have to tactically acquire dominion over the mind. That can only be accomplished by Yoga practice. \u003cbr\u003e It is possible to live even when all physical and mental activities have come to a stop when one practices Yoga. \u003cbr\u003e Yoga is one of the six systems of philosophy. Yogi Patanjali is the founder of this system as well as the author of the many commentaries on Yogi Panini (the father of Sanskrit grammar). \u003cbr\u003e This very valuable, tiny book is divided into four parts: In the first part, it describes the nature of Yoga, Samadhi, or \"Attunement\" with the ultimate Self and discusses its various aspects. In the second part, the first five steps of the eightfold Yoga path are outlined for the benefit of the truth seeker. In the third part, the last three steps are outlined, namely, Dharana (\"concept of Tranquility\"), Dhyana (\"meditation\") and Samadhi (\"Attunement\"). The state of going within during meditation practice and the danger of developing yogic powers on discussed. In fourth part, Kaivalya, or \"the highest Liberation,\" is discussed. In fact, discussion of Yoga is the aim of this book.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lahiri Mahasaya\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sanage Publishing House Llp\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/04\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.19d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9788119090365\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sanage Publishing House Llp","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40878706098291,"sku":"9.78812E+12","price":15.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_a7f2dc59-4cc5-456d-84d4-b23672647254.jpg?v=1689082983","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/patanjali-yoga-sutras-in-the-light-of-kriya-9788119090365","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
