SAMADHI PAD SUTRA 31

          DUKHA DAUR MANASYA ANGAMEJAYATWA SHWAS PRASHWAS VIKSHEPA

                                                                    SAHABHUVAH
THE PAIN (OR SORROW),DESPAIR(MENTAL DISTURBANCE),TREMBLING,AND IRREGULAR BREATHING CAUSE DISTRACTION.

       IN the last Sutra we were told about the 9 things that can cause the obstacle in the practice of meditation.In this Sutra we are told little more about the same.This is little different.When we have distracted mind , we react to it . These causes changes in our body. To some extent they are described here.
    The first one s the Pain or sorrow . This could be due to mental or physical or external sources which are not in our control.We may be angry about something or worried about something and this is mental pain. We may have fever , have caught a cold or injured .This is physical pain. And lastly the external things that are  not in our hands , like floods or fire etc. Some people will classify these as ADHIBHAUTIC , ADHIDAIWIC AND ADHYATMIC.No matter how one states them , they come down to same problems.Adhibhautic is related to our physical existence , adhi daiwic is related to environmental related and the Adhyatmic is related to our own karma , done in this and previous files..
    The pain will cause the mental disturbance and that will lead to irregular breathing and one can start trembling. All these will lead to inability to progress further in the concentration and meditation.
