SAMYAMA161NOTESThe husbandman removes the obstacles in the way of thewater and the water then passes of itself from one field or bedto another field or bed. Even so, the virtuous deeds remove theobstacles that stand in the way of evolution of prakriti (thatstand in the way of getting another different body in the sameexistence). lt is not the virtue that becomes the cause of thecreative causes moving into action. Mrtue becomes the causeof the removal of the vice, because they are diametricaily opposedto each other.Animal is hidden in vegetables; vegetable is hidden inminerals; man is hidden in animals;and God is hidden in man.when the obstacles are removed rapid evolution takes place.Nature rushes in to work out the creative processes orevolution. Divinity is the very birth-right or heriiage of man.When the obstacles are removed he becomes purusha orBrahman or God. lgnorance and its effects, egoism, Raga,Dvesha, etc., act as barriers. Removal of these barriers altowsthe flow of knowledge, power and peace. All yogic practicesare best calculated to remove the barriers that stand in the wayof the shutters of ignorance and egoism.
