Patanjali Yoga Sutras Part3 by Swami Mukundananda, what is the difference between Mind, Intellect & Ego?

The purpose of yoga meditation is to illumine the soul with divine consciousness. Swamiji elaborates on the purpose of dos and don’ts in the scriptures.

The aim of yog is to align our mind body and spirit in the divine and bathe our mind with sublime thoughts. All the sadhana that we undertake is to illumine the individual consciousness with divine consciousness. The goal of yog is to purify the mind by enhancing spiritual thoughts. When you absorb your mind in the divine Lord your mind transcends the three modes of maya and becomes situated on the divine transcendental platform. We are not the mind we are not the body we are the soul, the tiny fragments of God.

Maharshi Patanjali, one of the six sages who wrote Shad Darshan (the six-philosophical theses,) is a highly regarded Sanskrit scholar with multifaceted dimensions. His Yog Sutras(also known as Yog Darshan) that primarily deals with sadhana or spiritual practices is in the form of sutras. These sutras are “simple yet effective aphorisms that have strung the philosophy,” says Swami Mukundananda ji. The Yog Sutras are not only ancient but also very practical. Modern Psychologists too are discovering its utility in guarding or in regaining mental health.

In this preamble to Patanjali Yog Sutras, Swamiji introduces us to one of the primary requisites for spiritual progress, while answering these questions in a lucid manner - Who is Patanjali? What was the purpose of his birth? How did Yog Sutras come about? What are the elements of Yog Sutras?.

[sumitras]

Om namo bhagvate vasudevaya. Our ultimate goal is god.

[nikita]

All my problems cease to exist once i implement this knowledge of yours Swamiji 🙏🙏

[meenukapoormukunddassi]

Thanks Swami Ji for explaining
us that the goal of Yog is to stop material desires and thinking and attach it to Divine realm. We need to bathe our thoughts with Spiritual or Divine thoughts to purify it.

[rosiepeachdreams]

Always remember God. Never forget God🙏🏼

[preetimalhotra]

Process of yog purifies the mind, it does not kill the mind.

[yoginitripathi]

Goal of Yog is to desire in the wish of God and to stop material thinking and enhance spiritual thinking

[hymar]

To purify the mind engage the mind in God. Our mind likes and dislikes, intellect decides, ego accepts. Soul yses mind as an instrument. Thanks Swamiji

[muraliwaro]

In this lecture, Swamiji explains the difference between the mind, the intellect, and the ego. I always used to bundle the 3 together, but having this understanding of the different functions of these 3 entities/parts helps to start understanding 'who am I'.

[madhusudan]

Swamiji makes a very important distinction in this lecture that many people are confused about. I am very grateful for his explanation, it cleared my doubts too. We must not and cannot stop desires arising in our mind. We simply have to dovetail desires towards or for God. Shun material or worldly desires, but increase spiritual desires.

[sangitadas]

Swamiji 's lecture always illumine my intellect.(Mind) what is desiring or hankering. (Intellect) what is making decisions (Ego) accepting all this is its own (Soul) beyond all this.

[tavvajhansi]

Mind is only an instrument :) awesome.

[smitamehtadenton]

Thank you, Swamiji, for so beautifully explaining the process of utilizing the mind to experience the presence of God.

[cindybadree]

The mind intellect and ego wonderful explanation of how to control by always being engaged in spiritual practice Swami Ji 🌼 hare krishna🌻

[smitamehtadenton]

Swamiji so beautifully explains how others often misinterpret what “nirodh or kill the mind” really means. If we control desire, how will we ever increase the desire for spiritual elevation? So what we need to do is to control the desire for material things by purifying the mind. Swamiji further explains that the mind has three functional states: mind (mun), intelligence (buddhi) and ego (ahankar) and it can be purified by surrendering all three states to God.

[shyama]

Feel really blessed to be listening to this wonderful lecture🙏

[smehajkyogi]

Swamiji beautifully says that we need to control the desire for material things by purifying the mind which has three functional states: mind (mun), intelligence (buddhi) and ego (ahankar). All three can be purified by surrendering these to God. Thank you, Swamiji!

[dilipkumarnayak]

Swamiji explained nicely the hierarchy of the inner management.

[sangitadas]

It 's Wonerful n encouraging Swamiji. 1-always remember God. 2-Never forget God. Nirodh means to stop material desiers but not to stop spiritual desiers. The goal of Yog is not to kill the mind but to purify the mind. Please

[sandhyadas]

Purity of mind illuminates our life with light .When our heart wants to live in purity & do the right thing, automatically it  attracts towards God and his qualities and when our intellect  decide to surrender to God in any situation, then our mind searches for purity and  keeps us from falling into sin.

[muraliwaro]

Yoga is to absorb our mind with divine thoughts, sublime ideas, noble sentiments and all the sadhana processes we undertake are to illumine this individual consciousness with the light of the divine consciousness. very nicely explained!
