Yoga Sutras 2.33 meaning
vitarkabadhane pratipakshabhavanam
वितर्कबाधने प्रतिपक्षभावनम्॥
When troubled by negative thoughts, cultivate their opposite.
What it means
You cannot simply switch off a harmful thought, but you can grow the opposite one. When anger rises, deliberately think of patience; when jealousy rises, think of goodwill.हिंदी में अर्थ
जब नकारात्मक विचार परेशान करें, तब उनके विपरीत भाव को मन में बढ़ाओ।
हानिकारक विचार को बस बंद नहीं किया जा सकता, पर उसका उल्टा भाव बढ़ाया जा सकता है। गुस्सा आए तो धैर्य सोचें; ईर्ष्या हो तो शुभकामना सोचें।
Spoken by Patanjali.
