Laws of the Future Yoga

Suddhata 1. Anarambha No effort must be made, no struggle to overcome difficul-ties, but the act must be allowed to work & pass unquestioned, unhindered, unaided. (

) 2. Nirapeksha Nothing must be looked on as a belonging (

) or as a thing to be gained or lost, but all as things sent and taken away for ananda. There must be no attempt to get anything or keep anything; nor must any object be held in view. The vijnana must understand why a particular thing is done or is being prepared, what it is, when & how it will develop, but not in any way allow its knowledge to influence the heart or the action. 3. Saucha. There must be no desire, no repining, no rejecting (
