An interesting insight after todays online yoga sutra! Kindly excuse if this is too yoga sutra technical :)
Prayatnam (effort), when used to unseat abhinivesa (one of the five
klesas) will also empower the processes that keep abhinivesa in place!
So, one will need more effort and this will empower it further. As the
heat increases on both sides, there is a tremendous increase in rajas
everywhere in the being. Obviously, they will leak via places in the
being that are not strong enough to hold the rajas. This will lead to
tremendous imbalances.
A more nuanced approach is clearly needed
to deal with abhinivesa which is a bit like vali - the more you fight
it, the more you empower it!
