PURUSHARTH SHUNYANAM GUNANAM PRATIPRASAVAH KAVAILAM SWARUPA
PRATISHTA VA CHITTISHAKTER ITI
SINCE (3)GUNAS ARE DONE WITH IT'S FUNCTION,THEY REGRESS TO IT'S PREVIOUS
STATUS AND THAT IS THE KAIVALYA STATE (LIBERATION) AS PURUSHA DOES NOT
UNITE WITH TENDENCIES OF MIND
This is the last of the SUTRAS of this chapter and also that of PATANJALU SUTRA YOGA . We started with control of mind and the the tendencies and then we are told how to control and then what we get as POWERS or SIDHHIS when we are successful, At different levels of achievements , we experience the different powers. These are the SIDHHIS.But the purpose of the Meditation is not to get the SIDHHIS or the powers, but is to have the liberation of the SOUL . The soul is the reflection of the SELF which has identifies with body. The enjoyment of the SELF when it identifies with body is through GUNAS. So the purpose of the GUNAS is to provide pleasure. The Gunas have the origin from the NATURE or Prakruti. The SELF is independent observer. When the SOUL identifies with BODY,is gets entangled in pleasure and sorrow. So when the SELF IS FREE of DESIRES, there is no work left for the Gunas and then when there is no job or function left for the Gunas, they regress to the NATURE or Prakruti. If you recollect at the beginning of the Universe , The SPIRIT - PURUSH which has no desires comes in contact with NATURE or PRAKRUIT which has desires as it has GUNAS, come together and the LIFE starts or Universe is born . We represent microcosm of the Universal Macrocosm. So for the YOGI, who has gotten rid of desires and is without GUNAS, is free and has realized the SELF and that is the LIBERATION OR KAIVALYA.
