THE OVERFLOW OF TENDENCIES

Patanjali IV - 9 " There is the relationship of the cause and effect even though separated by class, locality and time - because memory and impressions are in the same form."

Patanjali IV - 2 " The transformation from one species or kind to another is by the overflow of natural tendencies or potentialities."

Patanjali IV - 3 " A substance of being may have many potentialities to become many things - the apparent cause only removes the obstacle like a farmer (irrigating a field)."

I - 30 "Disease, Physical Laziness, Doubt, Carelessness, Mental Laziness, Craving for Sense Pleasure, False Perception, Despair caused by failure, and Unsteadiness: These distract the mind and are obstacles to spiritual progress."
