The one who practices yoga without self interest, and lacks in concentration may face certain obstacles says Patanjali saint and he explains those obstacles in the following manner.
Thoughts that deviate your ideas may arise, he says it as " Sitha vikashoba".
The obstacles that are caused due to ill health are said as " Sthiyaanaa".
The obstacle that causes the fear about their success in yoga is said as "Samsayaa".
The deviation that occurs due to carelessness is said as "Pramaathaa".
Losing the expertise on mind's concentration that we have attained on repeated practise is said as "Anaavasthithathva".
Hence while one is practising yoga he must be both mentally and physically ready to face these obstacles. If it is practiced under the survilleance of a guru then all these obstacles can be over thrown.
The one who has the mental ability as well as the physical ability of attaining the goal by over throwing these obstacles could succeed in yoga.
In the next post we shall see about the yoga's peak state.
