What keeps you from living your truth?

Yogas citta vrtti nirodhah  
The restraint of the modifications of the mind-stuff is yoga.
The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. Book 1 Sutra 2

What keeps you from living in a state of spiritual awareness?
What keeps you from being in yoga (union)?

The Yoga Sutras explain that, as humans, we experience modifications (vrttis) to our mind-stuff (our connection to the universal truth) in order that we may live within the society into which we have been born. Unfortunately, we develop a lot of attachment to these vrttis; and they interfere with our ability to live consistently in a state of yoga. Therefore, we must learn to restrain, control, and/or govern, these vrttis. There are five basic vrttis with which all of us will contend as part of being human. They can be perceived as good or bad, painful or painless (Yoga Sutras 1.5), but they occur as part of our human experience.

They are: Right Knowledge, misconception, verbal delusion, sleep, and memory (Yoga Sutras 1.6).

We all experience these vrttis. If you want yoga, you need to learn to control your attachment to them.

Yoga is the restraint of the modifications of the mind-stuff.
