Mischievous Nature

Prakriti,

Your nature is so mischievous. It’s been how long since you first began your yogic journey? Let me point you to HRH Patanjali’s sutras, Book 2:34 in which he says Vitarka Badhane Pratipaksa Bhanavam. — When disturbed by negative thoughts, opposite ones should be thought of. Perhaps these words will offer you some comfort in those times when the pleasures of the world seem to glitter a gold.

Take refuge in Book 2:41 which reads Sattvasudhi Saumanasyaikagryen Driyajayatmadarsana Yogyatvani Ca. — Moreover, one gains purity of sattva, cheerfulness of mind, one pointedness, mastery over the senses, and fitness for Self -realization.

Nothing worth having is easy, sacrifice is part of the game, without it even Paris Hilton would be enlightened. You’re on the right track. Don’t lose strength.
