Spirit already exists within, waiting for us to recognize It. In the Yoga Sutras, Patanjali describes the process toward the final goal of enlightenment. Discover the steps which lead to finding and living in your true self.
When you clearly recognize you are not the heart/mind field but the seer beyond, your whole personal being eagerly seeks illumination. In this phase between clear distinction and the permanent centering in the true self, you are often in for a fight. Many thoughts, images and temptations may occur. You might even feel under attack. These new enemies and fears can be overcome by ceaselessly renewing the fight, persisting in distinguishing the heart/mind from the spiritual self.
