CHAPTER IV.
Victory over Passions.
( Shlokas 78. )
The importance of purifying the soul by the removal of Kasbāyas is more and more recognised day by day. The psychic laws which underly the efforts of the Indian Yogi are now being understood to a certain extent by the West. The principal thing is that man is a combination of two elements-physical and super-physical. Of these two the superphysical acts very powerfully on the physical. It is in fact the predominating element. Physical body is the outward result of the accumulation of superphysical elements round the soul, when Jiva becomes enclosed in the coating of Karmas. These superphysical elements are the first product of that union.
