Guest guest Posted August 5, 2004 Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 INTERVIEWER: The state Patanjali describes in his Yoga Sutras is a state that appears after all samskara (the compelling mental impressions left by previous experiences) have dissolved. Yes, that is why it is a state, it has an opposite. Freedom is a space in which all samskara can arise and fall away: all samskara have their roots in kaivalya. Avidya (ignorance) has its roots in vidya (knowledge), avidya never existed. The snake has its roots in the rope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 5, 2004 Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 The word " Kaivalya " means the state of kevalam or aloneness. It is the state of liberation attained through renunciation and the realization that one is verily Brahman Himself. The method or technique to attain the end is also described in the Upanishad in quite detail.(1.5 and 1.6) Realization , " Master of Change " <lostnfoundation> wrote: > INTERVIEWER: The state Patanjali describes in his Yoga Sutras is a > state that appears after all samskara (the compelling mental > impressions left by previous experiences) have dissolved. > > Yes, that is why it is a state, it has an opposite.
