Five reasons of causing pain

Patanjali lists five reasons citta Vritti, causing pain (flare), namely: 

1. Avidya (ignorance or lack thereof); 
2. Asmita (sense of individuality, isolating human and distinguishes him from the group. It is a physical, mental, intellectual or emotional); 
3. Para (affection or passion); 
4. Dvesha (dislike or disgust); 
5. Abhinivesha (zest for life, the instinctive attachment to the earthly life and carnal pleasures, fear of being cut off from their death). 

These reasons are suffering in the depths of the mind Sadhakas (worshiper, seeker of truth). They are like icebergs of the polar seas, in which visible only the upper part. They must be hard to control and eradicate, otherwise the rest will not. Yogi learns to forget the past and not worry about the future. He lives in an eternal present. 

As the breeze stirs the surface of the lake, distorting the image reflected in it, and citta Vritti violate the peace of mind. Still waters of the lake reflect the beauty around him. When the mind is stopped, it reflects the beauty Ya Yogi stops your mind with constant diligence and release from desire. Eight stages of Yoga teach him how to achieve this. 

While the Shiva Samhita and Hatha Yoga Pradipika referred to the possible timing of success, Patanjali never defines how much time is required that the individual soul has achieved unity with the Divine Universal Soul. He said that the mind makes a serene and calm Abhyasa (incessant and persistent practice) and Vairagya (freedom from desires). Abhyasa he defines as a long sustained effort, carried out with devotion, which creates a strong foundation. 

Coordinating and focusing his body, senses, mind, reason, and I, a man reaches the awards - inner peace - and has the desire to connect his soul with the Creator. The main adventure in life - this is his return to the Creator. 

To achieve the goal, he needs a well-developed and functioning coordinating body, senses, mind, intellect and Y. If his efforts are not coordinated, a person will fail. In the third chapter (the Valley) the first part of "Katha Upanishad" God of death Yama explains that yoga Nachiketa seeker of truth, telling a parable about a man on a chariot. 

"Know the Atman (I) as the Lord in a chariot, the mind - as the charioteer and the mind - as the reins. Feelings, they say it's horses, and the object of their desires-pasture. Wise men call I am in unity with the senses and mind Bhoktrom (those who enjoys). Unable to discern never would rule over his mind, his feelings like a skittish horse. Able to distinguish always controls his mind, his feelings are like an obedient horse. Unable to discern become careless, even the unclean, and he does not reach the goal, passing from one body to another. ability to discern is attentive and always pure, he reaches the goal and is born again. The man who is able to discern charioteer, ruling the mind reaches the end of the road - the supreme abode of eternal Spirit.
