Chit Prasaadan Ke Upaay
According to the Yogasutra-
"Maitri-karuna-mudita-upekshaam-sukh-duhkha-puny-apunya-vishayanayam-bhavnaatasya-chittaprasadanam" (Yogasutra- 1/33)
"मैत्री-करुण-मुदिता-उपेक्षाम्-सुख-दुःख-पुण्य-अपुण्य-विषयनायम्-भावनातस्य-चित्तप्रसादनम्" (योगसूत्र- 1/33)
Friendship, Compassion, Happiness and Indifference - these four types of feelings purify the mind. And is capable of controlling instincts. There should be a feeling of friendship among well-to-do men, a feeling of kindness towards unhappy people. Should keep a sense of joy in The Holy Spirit men and a sense of indifference in men with a sinful nature. These feelings purify the mind. A pure mind soon attains concentration.
There are all kinds of people in the world, happy, sad, virtuous and sinners. It is natural for the common people to have attachment, malice etc. towards such persons according to their thoughts. Seeing a person happy, attachment to another favorable person develops in him, hatred and jealousy etc. to an unfavorable person.
A pure-minded seeker is entitled to achieve success in yoga. Seeing the happy people, the seeker should develop a sense of friendship towards them. Jealousy never arises towards a friend.
Always have compassion and kindness towards the sad people, try to show them the right path for how their sorrow can be removed. Due to this, the feeling of hatred towards him will never arise in the heart of the seeker. Due to this, peace and consolation will remain in the mind of both.
Similarly, the seeker should experience joy towards the pious soul. Yoga itself is the path of high virtue. When both are pilgrims of the same path, then it is natural to be happy. What can be a matter of more joy than this, if the companions of the path of righteousness and righteousness are always found in the world.
It is absolutely appropriate for the seeker to have a feeling of neglect towards the sinful soul. Efforts to bring such persons on the right path often bring opposite results. Sinful men keep trying to harm their well wishers without understanding their reality and to obstruct their work. That's why the feeling of neglect means indifference towards such persons is better.
In this way, the seeker is successful in keeping his mind pure, clean and happy by keeping his feelings towards different persons awake, which is very useful for attaining the state of Sampragyat Yoga.
