4.10 Impressions and desire

Yoga Sutra 4.10 Impressions and desire

Are your desires toward enjoyment or toward liberation? What impressions do they leave?

Desire powers the impressions and it creates a cycle that lasts for as long as there is desire. What desires are prevalent in you?
To what extent are those desires perpetuating some of your existing tendencies and inclinations?
Can you modulate your desire?
Is your desire a way to deepen your identification with temporary phenomena?

4.9 Unique configuration of impressions (samskaras)

Yoga Sutra 4.9 Unique configuration of impressions (samskaras)

Are you aware of the impressiones accumulated in you and of their effects?

Are your ways of being related to your beliefs and opinions? Might it be possible that this collection of impressions, when unresolved, remains in your individual space of awareness offering you ways to overcome your identification with these experiences? Would it be possible for the impressions of previous actions to be stored in our organs through some mechanism that we do not understand yet? Is it possible then that your unique configuration of memories, impressions and tendencies continues from one life to the next?
