Attachment / Aversion

Our attachment to our likes and aversion to our dislikes rank as the third and fourth causes of our personal and collective suffering according to Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras. Most of the decisions which we make throughout our lives are influenced from the unconscious motivation to move towards that which pleases us and retract from that which displeases us. Because these two influences are hidden from our conscious mind, they subtly rule our decisions and shape our destiny.
