Here's the plan for class today

Here are the Sutras that Maddie is presenting on and  that we will discuss

 

1.12	abhyāsa-vairāgyābhyāṁ tan-nirodahaḥ
	Practice and detachment are the means to still the movements of consciousness. (I) The vrtti states of mind are stilled by practice and dispassion. (B)
1.13	tatra sthitau yanto 'byāsaḥ
	Practice is the steadfast effort to still these fluctuations. (I) From these, practice is the effort to be fixed in concentrating the mind. (B)
1.14	sa tu dīrgha-kala-nairantarya-satkārāsevito dṛḍa-bhūmiḥ
	Long, uninterrupted, alert practice is the firm foundation for restraining the fluctuations. (I) Practice becomes firmly established when it has been cultivated uninterruptedly and with devotion over a prolonged period of time. (B)
1.15	dṛṣṭānuśravika-viṣaya-vitṛṣṇasya vaśīkāra-saṁjñā vairāgyam
	Renunciation is the practice of detachment from desires. (I) Dispassion is the controlled consciousness of one who is without craving for sense objects, whether these are actually perceived, or described [in scripture]. (B)
1.16	tat paraṁ puruṣa-khyāter guṇa-vaitṛṣṇyam
	The ultimate renunciation is when one transcends the qualities of nature and perceives the soul. (I) Higher than renunciation is indifference to the gunas [themselves]. This stems from perception of the purusa, soul. (B)
