NIMITYAM APRAYOJAKAM PRAKRUTINAM
VARANBHEDASTU TATAH KSHETRIKAWAT
WHEN OBSTACLES ARE REMOVED (BY MEDICINES , MEDITATION ETC ) THEN
PRAKRUTI FLOWS ACCORDING TO IT'S NATURE LIKE FARMER
(REMOVING OBSTACLES TO THE FLOW OF THE WATER )
This Sutra is explaining as to how the meditation works. The comparison is done with farmer who is trying to have a great crop. The crop needs water. The crop needs nutrition etc . So the farmer creates channels or removes the obstacles to the water which is at higher level , and the by the law of nature the water flows from higher level to lower level where it is needed .
The same thing happens when unwanted weeds which are competing for the nutrition are removed , The crop gets the water and the nutrition without having to compete with weeds . Then the nature does it's job and the plant grows . So the Farmer does not 'GROW' the plant . He simply removes the obstacles to it's growth. The same thing happens . The medicinal herbs or the meditation and the Yama and the Niyama that are discussed before , remove the obstacle that are blocking the true nature of the soul .Once the obstacles are removed the true nature shines .Our tendencies are due to past Karmas .These Karmic impressions are the obstacles . So we have greed , lust , ignorance etc . When one removes them then the soul becomes free spirit .(physical body oriented , limited , confined soul is the Spirit). So the SPIRIT does not have limitation , but the soul has limitations of the body as it feels that it is body and does not realize the true free nature.
So our job is to get rid of the obstacles and the we will be free!
