4.8 Manifestation of impressions (samskaras)

Yoga Sutra 4.8 Manifestation of impressions (samskaras)

Subconscious impressions manifest under appropriate conditions.

Samskaras influence personality and tendencies. Are your intentions and actions generating new impressions? Are some of your actions and interactions the result of unconscious impressions? To what extent is your personality a form of conditioning?

4.7 Karma of three kinds

Yoga Sutra 4.7 Karma of three kinds

Those who are not immersed in samadhi generate three types of karma.

Yogis who have achieved integration, by living beyond attachment to results, do not accumulate karma. For others, karma is negative, positive and mixed. Can you notice how your current situation may have been influenced by your previous intentions and actions?
Are you aware of past impressions that are still active in you?
Do your actions reflect a growing balance within you?

4.6 Mind doesn’t generate impressions (samskaras)

Yoga Sutra 4.6 Mind doesn't generate impressions (samskaras)

Free from the ways of being, conscious and balanced actions

Meditation is sustainable and makes it easy to act without leaving subconscious impressions that generate an endless chain of reactions and afflictions. Are you freer of expectations and attachments to the results of your actions? How do you know if your actions are the result of your deep emotional balance?

4.5 Single underlying awareness

Yoga Sutra 4.5 Single underlying awareness

Is there a single sense of self beneath all your experiences?

What is at the core of all your experiences? Could there also be only one all encompassing awareness underlying all of existence? What is the nucleus of your being?
